There once was a poor family who didn't have enough food for their children. One day the mother decided to go into the forest in search of pine cones to sell to get money for food. When the mother finally reached the forest and began looking for pine cones she heard a mysterious voice say, "Why are you stealing my pine cones?" Suddenly an elf appeared beside her. She explained her sad situation to the elf. The elf told the woman to go into the next forest where the pine cones were better. The woman hesitantly listened to the elf and walked the long walk to the next forest. By the time she got there she was very tired so she sat against a large tree. Just then dozens of pine cones began falling to the ground around her. The woman joyfully gathered the pine cones into her basket. She was delighted to discover that all the pine cones had turned to silver. Her family would never go hungry again!
According to legend if you put a silver pinecone on your mantel or a dresser, good luck will surely come your way.
