Title: The Very Best Christmas tree

Author: Tony King

1.       Summarize the story:

The Bones family loved Christmas. Every year they got a Christmas tree. The Bones family handmade each and every one of their Christmas ornaments. So each year Mr. Bones picked out a bigger tree to hold all of the ornaments. The first year Mr. Bones picked out a tree so big that the Bones’ daughter could see it from the third floor. Mrs. Bones hated having such a big Christmas tree. She told her husband how she felt and Mr. Bones said he would buy a smaller year next year. Next year came and of course Mr. Bones picked out a tree that was almost as big as the last one! Mrs. Bones was so unhappy that she sat at the bottom of the stairs and cried. Mr. Bones said that it looked smaller in the field than it actually was. Mr. Bones promised Mrs. Bones that she could pick the tree out the next year. That year came quickly and Mrs. Bones went to the tree farm and picked out nice small tree. The tree was pretty but the Bones’ children were sad. The tree could not fit all the ornaments. They told their father and Mr. Bones and Mrs. Bones came to a reasonable agreement for the next year. They would both pick out the Christmas tree. That year was just around the corner and Mr. Bones and Mrs. Bones went to pick out the Christmas tree. They picked out a nice Christmas tree that was a little bigger than Mrs. Bones had hoped for and a little smaller than what Mr. Bones had hoped for but was fat enough to fit all the ornament’s that the children made. That was certainly, The Very best Christmas tree of all.
