Christmas Tree

Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler and Joey were drinking coffee in Central Perk Cafe one morning. Ross told them he hurt one little girl’s leg last night. He wanted to go to see her and bring her something. Monica criticized him and joked he might bring a hello kitty doll with the ability to walk. Rachel was asked to take training again because she was still not a qualified waitress. Joey said he also should leave to sell some Christmas trees. That’s his new job. But Phoebe was totally against his job. She was against the innocent trees being cut down in their prime and their corpses grotesquely dressed in, like, tinsel and twinkly lights. Joey tried to persuade Phoebe to accept it. He said those trees were born to be Christmas trees and were fulfilling their life purpose by making people happy. They were symbols for Christmas.
The next day Phoebe went to Joey’s work place. She stopped one customer buying a green tree with nice smell when the customer was about to pay for it. She promoted an old little brown one instead. As last the customer didn’t buy any. Later Monica also went there to buy a tree. Phoebe went on promoting the old one to Monica and said the tree must fulfill its Christmas destiny, everyone had to be respectful to it, otherwise it would be thrown into chipper.

On Christmas Eve, Ross, Chandler, Rachel and Phoebe went back to Monica’s apartment, they found many old brown trees there. Monica and Joey bought them and gave Phoebe a surprise. Phoebe was extremely excited and hugged them saying “you saved them, you are the best”.
