Allwin, Millie Wombolt, Elsie Carol Ü . ; CrfyJL, ÿ Once upon a time—according to Harz mountain legend—a poor miner's wife was gathering pine cones in the forest. It was just be fore Christmas, her husband was 111, and there was no money in the house for food. So, she gathered the cones and sold them to the villagers for kindling—obtaining enough for the day's necessities. One morning while she was look ing for such cones, a little imp jumped out of a huge fir tree. "Here, here are the biggest, driest cones of all! Take these," he shrieked. Jumping up and down excitedly. Suddenly, there was such a show er of cones that the poor woman was frightened. She tried to run away, but could not move until the little Imp had filled her basket. And, hav ing started home, the basket grew heavier and heavier—she wished the elf hadn't disappeared, he might have helped her. When she finally reached her hut, she called the children to help car ry the basket inside. Emptying the basket, they found that every cone was made of solid silver. Commemorating these legendary silver cones, gilded pine cones are sold in modern stores, to decorate our homes—to burn and crackle gaily in our Christmas fires.
