Two of Emma’s classmates criticized the tree, which hurt Emma’s feelings, but Barbie told Emma that the tree she had chosen was beautiful.
The reason the children had not thought the tree was worth planting was because it was small, but Barbie told them that even the smallest tree could make a big difference.
