Once upon a time, there was a lamp who loved to play pranks on the other furniture in the room. One day, while the humans were away, the lamp decided to switch places with the carpet. The carpet was so confused and asked the lamp why he was on the floor. The lamp replied with a mischievous grin, "I wanted to see what it's like to be walked all over."

The chair, table, and sofa couldn't stop laughing at the lamp's joke. But, the armchair was not amused. He said, "That's not funny. I'm the one who always gets sat on." So, the lamp suggested they all switch places for a day.

The picture on the wall watched as the furniture shuffled around, trying out each other's spots. The TV tried to join in, but he was too big and bulky to move.

Just then, the window opened and a gust of wind blew in. The furniture started to sway and dance, enjoying the cool breeze. The lamp, who had become the armchair, started to glow with delight. He shouted, "This is the best day ever!"

And from that day on, the furniture had a new appreciation for each other's roles and never took their spots for granted again. The end.
