Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a group of friends who loved to play pranks on each other. One day, they decided to play a prank on their teacher by putting bologna in her pen holder. The teacher was not amused and assigned them a punishment to write a report about the importance of evidence in protests.

The friends were not happy about their assignment and tried to repeat their prank the next day, but their teacher had learned from the previous day and caught them red-handed. She mentioned that their actions were not only disruptive but also made it harder for people who protest for serious issues to be taken seriously.

The friends were ashamed and decided to remain in class and listen to their teacher’s lessons. They learned that protests are important and powerful ways for people to voice their opinions, but they must have evidence to support their claims.

From that day on, the friends became more responsible and respectful in class, and they never played pranks again. They understood the importance of using evidence in protests and how it can make a difference in the world.

The end.
