1 THE PERFECT PRANK

Raj was a notorious prankster who loved to make fun of his friends and family. He had a knack for finding their weaknesses and exploiting them for his amusement. He was always looking for new ways to surprise and embarrass them, and he never got tired of his own jokes.

One day, he decided to pull off the ultimate prank on his best friend, Ravi. He knew that Ravi was afraid of spiders, and he had a plan to exploit his phobia. He bought a realistic-looking fake spider from a novelty shop, and attached a thin string to it. He then sneaked into Ravi's house, and hid the spider under his bed. He waited for Ravi to come home from work, and then called him on his phone.

"Hey, Ravi, how was your day?" Raj asked casually.

"Not bad, man. Just tired and hungry. How about you?" Ravi replied.

"Oh, you know, same old, same old. Hey, listen, I have something important to tell you. Can you go to your bedroom and check under your bed? I left something there for you." Raj said, trying to sound serious.

"What? Why? What did you leave there?" Ravi asked, feeling suspicious.

"Just trust me, okay? It's a surprise. You'll love it. Go on, check it out." Raj urged.

Ravi hesitated, but curiosity got the better of him. He walked to his bedroom, and looked under his bed. He saw nothing but dust and some old magazines. He was about to call Raj and ask him what he was talking about, when he felt something tickle his foot. He looked down, and saw a huge spider crawling on his toes. He screamed and jumped back, dropping his phone.

Raj heard his scream and burst into laughter. He pulled the string, and the spider flew towards Ravi's face. Ravi screamed again, and ran out of the room. Raj followed him, holding the spider and laughing hysterically.

"Gotcha! Gotcha! You should have seen your face, man! That was priceless!" Raj taunted.

"Raj, you jerk! That was not funny! That was cruel! How could you do that to me?" Ravi yelled.

"Come on, man, it was just a prank. A harmless prank. Don't be such a baby. It's not a real spider, see?" Raj said, showing him the fake spider.

"I don't care if it's fake or not. It looked real enough to me. You know I hate spiders. You know I have a phobia. You know how much they scare me. You have no idea how much you traumatized me. You're not my friend. You're my enemy. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." Ravi said, his voice trembling with anger and fear.

"Wow, wow, wow. Calm down, man. It's not that serious. It's just a joke. A joke between friends. Can't you take a joke?" Raj said, trying to calm him down.

"No, I can't take a joke. Not this kind of joke. This was too much. This was over the line. This was unforgivable. You crossed the line, Raj. You crossed the line." Ravi said, shaking his head.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to make you mad. I just wanted to make you laugh. I just wanted to have some fun. I'm sorry, Ravi. Please forgive me. Please." Raj said, sounding sincere.

Ravi looked at him, and saw the remorse in his eyes. He saw the guilt on his face. He saw the apology in his voice. He felt a pang of pity for him. He felt a twinge of guilt for being so harsh. He felt a spark of friendship for him. He sighed, and smiled.

"Okay, okay, I forgive you. I forgive you, Raj. But don't ever do that again. Don't ever prank me like that again. Promise me." Ravi said.

"I promise. I promise, Ravi. I won't prank you like that again. I won't prank you at all. I'm done with pranks. I'm done with jokes. I'm done with fun. I'm done." Raj said.

"Good. Good, Raj. I'm glad you learned your lesson. I'm glad you realized your mistake. I'm glad you changed your ways. I'm proud of you, Raj. I'm proud of you." Ravi said.

They hugged, and made up. They laughed, and joked. They talked, and chatted. They were friends again. They were happy again.

Raj was happy. He was happy that he had pulled off the perfect prank. He was happy that he had fooled Ravi. He was happy that he had made him scream. He was happy that he had made him run. He was happy that he had made him cry. He was happy that he had made him forgive.

He was happy that he had made him forget.

He was happy that he had made him forget the real spider that he had put in his closet.

He was happy that he had made him forget the real spider that he had put in his closet, until he opened it the next day.
