Once there was this boy who never studied his homophones, so he always confused them and thought they were the same meaning. His friend decided to pull a prank on him one day and said:
Friend: Can I have all of your candy?
Boy: Nope. Why?
Friend: I'll give you 100 scents if you give me the candy.
Boy: OK. Deal.
Then the boy raided his snack drawer for candy and packed it in a bag. Then he went to meet his friend.
Boy: Here's the candy. Now can you give me the 100 cents?
Friend: OK. You might not like it though.
Boy: Just give me the cents!! >:-(
Then his friend peeled off his stinky sock and held it in front of the boy's nose. He made sure the boy smelled it a hundred times.
Boy: Why did you do that?
Friend: I said 100 scents, not 100 cents.
The boy was very sad but learned to study his homophones more carefully.
Note: This joke is inspired by one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
