The latke and the pine tree are in the kitchen making Hanukah latkes when they hear a knock on the door.The latke goes to answer it and see that it is his mother’s friend Mrs.Finklestein.The pine tree is curious about what she wants,so he goes to the window and sees his father in the back yard with an ax,about to cut down a tree.The latke comes back in and tells his tree friend the story of his childhood when he was living with his parents in Germany,before they immigrated to Israel.
