An Old Tree

Two trees stand in a forest of trees.

1: Oh man why can't I die?
2: Look gramps, it's like I've been telling you, we can't commit suicide, you have to wait to die. We're trees, it just doesn't work like that.
1: Sigh, but I've lived for so long.

Suddenly a big burly man with a chainsaw walks into view.

Man: Aha, this looks like a good tree. I think I will cut this one down.

1: Oh my glorious day! At last it's my time to die! Oh lad, I am so happy now, finally I will die a peaceful death.
2: I'm happy for ya gramps.

The man is about to start cutting into the tree when a bunch of hot and crazy hippy chicks all run up with chains.

chicks: No! You must not cut down these trees!

They chain themselves around the tree.

chick: You can't cut down this tree, it does not want to die.
1: What? Are you insane woman? Of course I want to die!
chick: we will not allow it!

Man: Sigh, you hippie chicks thwarted me again. Looks like I'll have to choose another forest.

1: NO!!!!!!

The hippie chicks looks satisfied and they un chain themselves and look at each other.

chick: We did it, we saved this tree! They walk away proud of themselves.

2: Sorry gramps, looks like it's not meant to be.
1: Just my luck sonny boy. Just my luck.
