action
A conifer is sad because it has no leaves, only sharp needles. He wants golden leaves and falls asleep. The next morning he wears golden leaves, shines and shines and is happy. The birds are also delightedly reflected in its leaves. A Jew comes through the forest, drives away the birds and plucks all the leaves from the tree, which is now bare.
The tree now wants glass leaves and wakes up the next morning with leaves made of glass. These will soon be broken by the wind. Even the next wish - green leaves - does not bring the tree any luck, because a hungry goat is now eating the whole tree. In the end, the tree wants its needles back and laughs happily when it wakes up again as a conifer. The surrounding trees and all the animals in the forest join in his laughter.
