Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play pranks on her friends. One day, she went to the bank to get some money for ice cream. But as she was walking out, she tripped and fell into the water. She quickly realized that she had fallen into a river and started to sink! Luckily, a passing boat saw her and rescued her.

The boat captain asked her what happened, and Lily explained that she had just come from the bank. The boat captain chuckled and said, "Well, I guess you can thank your lucky stars that you didn't drink the water!"

Lily thanked the boat captain for saving her and climbed back onto the boat. She was feeling a little silly and decided to play a prank on her friends. She told them that she had fallen into the river and drank all of the water! Her friends were shocked and couldn't believe it.

Lily then showed them the blank piece of paper she had taken from the bank. "See?" she said. "I drank it all!" Her friends couldn't help but laugh at her silly joke. And from that day on, Lily was known as the best prankster in town!
