  22. In the story "Fish Eyes" by David Brenner, characters are motivated to do the pranks they do because one prank gets pulled so the other reacts. Like the carrot juice war, David gets revenge by putting carrot juice into his brothers drink. When David gets the fish eyes though, he ends up getting 'power hungry'and torments the stores around him. Although David forgot the eyes in his drawer of his dresser that action made the exterminator freak out!
    I guess the actions of other pranks caused others to get revenge but they ended up hurting more than just the intended person.
