My friend Jojo is a prankster. Everybody finds him hilarious. He plays pranks all the time. Last week, he replaced his sister's ballpoint pens with crayons. When she opened her pencil case, she was very surprised. Everyone laughed, even the teacher! Another time, he hid a sheep under the teacher's desk. The pupils burst out laughing when they came into the classroom ! What a good joke!

Clever stuff happening!
