Moral lesson of the fir tree?

So from what I have gathered from the fairy tale, I believe that the moral of the story is to (although this may sound lame) "Cherish what you have because you never know when you might lose it". Examples of this theme draw mainly from all the times the fir tree is regretting having gone through a certain event, such as being chopped down and used as a Christmas tree, etc. Anyways, I hope this helps, you can rephrase the moral if you like, and also look in the third last paragraph of the book because the tree clearly states the intended moral to be passed on to readers.
