Ví dụ
The story goes that children would dress in costume and go from door to door and say ‘Fastelavn is my name and if you don’t give us the rolls we’re going to play a trick on you.’ In fact, the idea of Halloween trick or treat comes from that tradition.

One of the most recent viral clips from Youtube shows the terrible blooper that starred a young Uber Eats deliveryman who had to deliver some pizzas. He tried to record a video for his social networks and had no better idea than to impress his ‘fans’ with a risky acrobatics; However, he never imagined that his work backpack would play a trick on him and make him look ridiculous.

Picked on by some because we didn't rodeo (cưỡi ngựa, quăng dây, diễn mô tô) or play football, Forrest and I finally found someone we could harass. We were going to play a trick on this poor guy and opened his locker on the sly. His lunch, well, stunk. So much so, we got an idea. We swapped his daily sandwich for Mighty Dog. By Purina. We were in line shaking with excitement to see if he would eat it. Our friend (maybe not by his definition) normally ate his sandwiches in five bites.
