"A group of friends discovers a neglected pond in the woods and decides to fix it up together"--

A lonely little fir tree, standing by itself at the edge of the forest, has its life transformed when a father takes it home to serve as a living Christmas tree for his bedridden son.

One dawn the Moon hears the laughter of children waking up and she yearns to see them, but the day belongs to the Sun and he will not trade places; so the Moon tempts him with stories of the stars and two come up with a compromise that explains why the moon can sometimes be seen in the daytime.
