The Seven Nights Legend of Evergreen Trees
An old Indian legend explains that when plants fed animals were created they were told to stay awake for seven nights. Most animals slept, leaving only the owl, a panther, and a few others awake, granting them sight in darkness while trees slept except for a few evergreens like cedars, pine, spruce, holly, and laurel which remained awake all seven nights. The Earth remains green because of this vigilance.
