My neighbour's children are fond of playing extreme pranks trying to get a reaction out of people. One morning,after my usual morning prayer with my family, my wife opened the door and screamed I was scared for a minute then rushed outside to know what had happened. On getting to my front door, I saw three lizards that had been dissected, I was surprised because I couldn't think of who could have done this.
After standing outside for a few minutes I heard giggles behind my water storage outside and sounds of camera shots. I was extremely angry because I immediately knew who put the unalived lizards on my front door, my neighbour's children. I kept saying this children and their dangerous pranks as I went to their parents to report. The parents didn't do anything much, they just told me " you know children and the way they play". I was really furious, because this isn't the first time the children would prank people in the compound. My wife on the other hand told me she wasn't going to let this prank slide, I just told her to forget about it and didn't take her seriously. 
One evening, after I came back from work, I heard noise outside my window and quickly rushed out. On getting outside, I saw a masquerade flogging one of my neighbour's children. I was really surprised because a masquerade in an estate I asked myself. Quickly, I rushed towards my neighbour's child to save her from the masquerade, the masquerade ended up giving me a few strokes before it eventually stopped. The masquerade then left the compound and zoomed in what I think could be a ran away vehicle because I saw a driver in it. I took the girl to a corner of the compound and helped her with her wounds then went to my room.
In the night, my wife arrived home from work and was giving me an awkward face. I asked what the matter was and she said " good samarithan, other neighbours were there why did you help the girl". I was shocked because my wife wasn't around when the masquerade incident happened. After a while my wife went to shower then I decided to check her bag because it was unusually big. I shouted Jesus as I dropped the bag, because I saw some of the masquerade's costume, it immediately clicked, my wife was the masquerade. I laughed uncontrollably as I dropped the bag.
