Once upon a time, there was a mischievous eraser who loved to play pranks on the other school supplies in its pencil case. One day, the eraser snuck into the sharpener and made all the pencils come out pointy and uneven. The pencils were so frustrated with the eraser’s antics that they decided to band together and teach it a lesson. So, they snuck into the eraser’s bag and hid inside a book. When the eraser opened its bag to start a new day of fun, it was shocked to find all of its friends had disappeared. The clever pencils jumped out of the book and started tickling the eraser, until it begged for mercy. From that day on, the eraser realized that playing pranks wasn’t as fun when it was the one being pranked, and it became the best of friends with all the other supplies in the pencil case.
