One day Jon was walking home with his friend, Bob. Their lives weren't very interesting, so they thought of things they could do for fun. Jon had an idea. “What if we prank Isaiah?!” Isaiah was their other friend from school.
“Great idea!” Bob said.
The next day, they each asked their parents if they could have a sleepover at Isaiah’s house. Their parents said yes. They were ecstatic!
“So, how should we prank him?'' asked Jon.
“We should do one of those bucket pranks, where you put a bucket filled with liquid on top of a door. When you trigger it, the bucket will tip over and the liquid will fall out,” said Bob.
“Oh, my mother has this liquidy stuff. It’s a green liquid and it comes in many different containers. There’s a bunch in her room, maybe we could use some!” replied Jon.
Jon’s mom and dad worked at a joke shop, and the green liquid was a new item in stock. When his parents were at work, Jon snuck into their room and took one of the bottles.
It was a prank potion that turned people into clowns, temporarily. Jon and Bob knew nothing about what the green liquid would do, but they decided to use it anyway.
On the day of the sleepover, Jon smuggled the liquid and bucket into Isaiah's house in his bag. Isaiah went to go buy snacks. While he was gone, Jon and Bob set up the bucket on top of Isaiah’s door. Isaiah came back and opened the bedroom door. All the liquid fell on him. There was a shining glow. He had turned into a clown! He had a red shiny nose, big clown shoes, and a colorful suit with a ruffled collar. He looked so funny. Bob and Jon started laughing.
“What are you laughing at?” said Isaiah. They gave him a mirror. He burst out laughing.
"What's the matter?" asked Isaiah's mom. Once she saw Isaiah, she giggled. Then they all laughed happily ever after.
