A Lonely Christmas Tree

There was a field of Christmas trees that were ready for harvest.
Among them was a tree that had little limbs and was most undesirable.
Getting lost in the shuffle of the trees going to market, this tree was put on the truck.
It was fortuitous because there was a young boy who wanted a Christmas tree but couldn't afford to get one of the expensive.
He had spotted the lonely Christmas tree out in a moment and desired to get it.
He had one dollar and fifty cents with him; in his pocket.
The boy anxiously awaited for the vendors to get through with the other customers and then approached him.
He demanded attention by pulling at the vendor's pants leg.
Looking down at the young man, the vendor was asked about the tree.
He responded it was unusable and not sell it.
The little boy began to weep and the vendor was turning red.
He agreed with the little boy to accept the dollar and fifty cents if he would go away and stop crying.
He made the promise and the vendor kept his.
The little boy went away with the Christmas tree and was as proud as he could be.
