Once upon a time, there was a table who was tired of being just a table. So one day, it decided to play a trick on the furniture in the room. It pretended to fall asleep on the carpet, pretending to be stuck. The TV saw what was happening and tried to wake the table up, but it wouldn't budge. The picture on the wall started to laugh and said, "Table, stop being silly and get up." The window chimed in and said, "I think you need some fresh air." The armchair and lamp tried to push the table, but it still wouldn't move. Finally, the chair and sofa decided to team up and lift the table, but as soon as they did, the table jumped up and shouted, "Surprise!" The whole room erupted with laughter and the table was finally happy to be the center of attention. The end.
