The April Fool's Day Prank |
|
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I had just finished studying for my upcoming
English test. I was about to take a quick nap when the doorbell rang. I got up
to answer the door, wondering who it could be. To my surprise, it was a courier
with a package for me.
"Good afternoon, Miss Sarah Lee," the courier greeted me with a smile. "I have a
package for you."
I was confused. I wasn't expecting any packages, and I didn't recognize the
sender's name. "I'm sorry, but I think you have the wrong address," I told him.
The courier double-checked the package and the address on his clipboard. "No,
this is definitely the right address," he said, showing me the label. "It's from
a Mr. John Smith."
I was still skeptical, but I signed for the package anyway. The courier left,
and I opened the package to find a small plush toy and a note. The note read:
"Dear Sarah,
I hope you like this gift. Will you be my girlfriend?
Love, John"
I was shocked and confused. I didn't know anyone named John, and I certainly
wasn't looking for a boyfriend. I decided to bring the package to school the
next day to try and figure out what was going on.
As soon as I walked into class, my friend Amanda started giggling. "What's so
funny?" I asked her.
"It's April Fool's Day, Sarah!" Amanda said, still laughing. "Did you really
think someone was asking you out with a plush toy?"
I felt my face turn red as the rest of my friends joined in the laughter. "I
can't believe I fell for that," I said, shaking my head.
"Don't worry, we've all been there," Amanda said, giving me a reassuring pat on
the back. "Come on, let's go get some lunch."
I realized then that I had been the victim of a harmless prank. I couldn't help
but laugh along with my friends, grateful for the light-hearted moment of fun on
an otherwise uneventful Sunday afternoon. |
