Each of their dreams came true in the most unexpected of ways. The three trees dreamed of grand futures, but when they were claimed by woodcutters, other things happen. One becomes the manger that holds the Christ child, another a humble fishing boat that carries Jesus and his followers, and the third is cut into stout timbers that become Jesus' cross. A clean pristine copy.
