the food and goodies that parents send are quite enjoyable.

But parents may be prankish sometimes, as the student in the preceding story learned the hard way.

He had just moved into the resident hall after arriving in Bucharest for his first year of college.

His parents called and said they would deliver him a package. After reaching the train station, the young man quickly picked up a large box and made his way back to his dorm room. But when he opened it, he was shocked. There were only wrappers and rubbish inside, not any food. The child found a note that explained everything, although at first he had no idea what was going on.

You left your room untidy after using it. “Please take away the trash,” was scrawled there.

The young man enjoyed the practical joke and learned his lesson.
