Once upon a time, there was a girl who went by the pseudonym "Saru". She met this person named "Watari" one day, and realized that she had found true love. So Saru (meaning 'monkey' in Japanese) and Watari (meaning '1000 bridges' in Japanese) had a lovechild named Saruwatari (meaning 'monkey crossing 1000 bridges' in Japanese).

Now, one day, Saruwatari looked out the window and saw that the trees were dying. All of them. Their leaves were turning brown and falling off. Normally, she would have concluded that there was a tree disease, and it was killing all the trees. She would have been sad, but realize that there was nothing she could do about it.

But there was. You see, there was a certain type of tree, the Christmas tree, that stayed green and proud and tall. Ah...! she thought. These trees are killing the other trees! They realized, finally, that they're really ugly, so, in jealousy, they're killing the pretty trees! Yes! All becomes clear! and killed all the Evergreen trees, so now there's no green in the wintertime.

And she was happy.

The end.
