Douglas was tired of being a tree teacher for he has been doing the same routine every year of his life, and so, he wanted to have some new experiences rather than just stay at the lake, then when a huge storm came, it knocked him right over and gives him the chance to become something else other than a tree. At first, the creatures in the forest argued on what he becomes and it was decided that he should be a book of memories so he may continue teaching, Douglas liked that idea, but in the end, when he arrived in Toronto, he was turned into the tallest wooden flagpole of the world and was dubbed Sir Douglas Fir! Douglas was very happy because by a simple act of nature and the help of his friends, he will be on a great adventure and this was beyond what he imagined in the first place! What an unexpected turnout! ( )
