Once upon a time, there was a mischievous eraser who lived in a pencil case. He loved to erase words from books and watch them disappear. One day, he met a pen named Peter who was tired of writing all the time. The eraser suggested they switch places for a day, and Peter agreed.
The next day, the eraser put on his best writing hat and jumped onto the paper in a book. To everyone's surprise, he wrote the most beautiful words they had ever seen. The pen was ecstatic! But then, a chair walked by and tripped on the book, sending it flying across the room and landing on a table.
The eraser fell out and landed back in the pencil case, where he realized he much preferred erasing to writing. Peter, however, was so enamored with his newfound writing skills that he decided to become a full-time writer. From that day on, the eraser and pen lived happily ever after, each doing what they did best. The end.
