Why Dove Should Pranked Johnny

Decent Essays
From Bad to Good Ninety-nine percent of pranks that physically injure people, benefit them in the future. Dove should have pranked Johnny for three reasons: Johnny became a better person, he acquired a better job, and he met Rab.

The second reason Dove should have pranked Johnny is because he acquired a better job. When he burned his hand Mr. Lapham fired him, which led to him attaining a far better job
