Long ago, Mother Nature gave each tree a different use(用途). But she did not share her reasons 1 the trees.
Fir Tree(冷杉) had three friends—Maple, Oak, and Elm. When the first autumn arrived, Maple's, Oak's, and Elm's leaves turned orange, red, and yellow. 2, Fir Tree's leaves stayed green.
Fir Tree complained to Mother Nature, “I don't 3 my leaves. I want them to change colours like my friends' leaves.”
“Be 4,” Mother Nature replied. “You will know your use.”
So Fir Tree waited. The temperature dropped even more. Maple, Oak, and Elm 5 their leaves. Only Fir Tree's green leaves 6. Soon snow covered the ground.
Again, Fir Tree said to Mother Nature, “7 am I different? I seem to be stuck in one period of life!”
“Take it easy,” Mother Nature replied. “Soon you will 8 your use.”

Maple said he didn't have any leaves. She asked Oak and then Elm. Both said the 11 words. Squirrel then came to Fir Tree.
“Excuse me,” she said. “12 I build a home in your branches?”
“13!” said Fir Tree. Squirrel ran up to build her home. Soon she fell asleep in her warm and comfortable new home.
Fir Tree 14 understood that his green leaves could provide a warm shelter for animals in winter. From that moment on, Fir Tree was 15 to be different. Still today, he remains proud of his evergreen leaves.
