Half way to the apple tree
Three steps out of his house
The wind never blew Nicholas over

A long time ago when he was a little boy in Mexico
Just the other day in the apple tree
Grandpa has never seen a cardinal before

In an old cage from the last bird that rescued
The bird flew around the house freely

The next day, Christmas Day
The next day, Christmas Eve
The cardinal never regained his strength

The bird was still not strong enough to fly, so he stayed in the cage

Straight to the apple tree

9. Does Sawtooth Ridge have blizzards often?

Yes, they have had one every Christmas eve since Nicholas found the cardinal
No, they still have snow storms but have never again had a blizzard on Christmas Eve
Yes, but the only happen every three or four years

10. Why do people come to Sawtooth Ridge every winter to look at the apple tree?

Because the apple tree grows apples even in the cold winter months
Because cardinals fill the apple tree every Christmas eve
People do not come to Sawtooth Ridge in the winter
