　　Monica: Oh yeah, I remember mine! Ohh, it was my sixth birthday. My dad took me to the park. I got it, and… itbent.

　　Ross: Yeah.

　　Phoebe: I never had a bike of my own.

　　Ross: What?

　　Phoebe: Well, we didn't have a lot of money. But the girl across the street had the best bike! It was pink and it hadrainbow colored tassels¹ hanging off the handle grips², and–and–and a bell and this big, white wicker basket with thoseplastic daisies stuck on.

　　Chandler: That sounds like my first bike. My dad gave me his old one.

　　Ross: Ohh.

　　Monica: Did the girl ever let you ride it?

　　Phoebe: No! But she gave me the box that it came in. It had a picture of the bike on the front. So I would sit on it and my step-dad would drag me around the backyard³.
