Read together

Once upon a time, there was a zany old man named Zane who loved to play pranks and have fun. Despite having arthritis, he never let it stop him from his antics. One day, while playing a joke on his friends, Zane suffered a stroke and fell into a coma. The town held a funeral for him, but little did they know, Zane was not gone yet. On the third day of his coma, he woke up with a ghoulish laugh, scaring everyone who had come to visit. He was taken to the hospital where a paramedic helped bring him back to his normal self. Despite the traumatic experience, Zane continued to live his life to the fullest and never let his arthritis hold him back from his zany antics.
