Once upon a time, there was a table, chair, TV, sofa, armchair, window, picture, lamp, and carpet. They all lived in a room together and were the best of friends.

One day, the table decided to play a joke on the armchair. It told the armchair that the TV was having a big party and everyone was invited except it.

The armchair felt sad and left the room to go find a new place to live. But when it reached the window, it saw the picture laughing at it.

The armchair realized that the table had tricked it and decided to get revenge. So, it teamed up with the lamp and carpet to play a prank on the table.

When the table was sitting quietly, the lamp suddenly turned off, and the carpet started to roll itself up. The table was so shocked that it jumped up, knocking over the chair.

The sofa and TV saw what was happening and joined in the laughter. In the end, they all had a good laugh and learned to never play pranks on each other again. They all lived happily ever after in the room.
