Horrid Henry's Revenge

"Horrid Henry's Revenge" is a short story by American author Francesca Simon.
==Synopsis==
Horrid Henry plans the ultimate revenge on Perfect Peter.
==Plot==
Out of the blue, Henry decides to attack, pinch and slap Peter when Mum and Dad aren't looking. Eventually, once Henry pulls Peter's hair, Dad has had enough and sends Henry to his room. Henry is frustrated at Peter for snitching on him to Mum and Dad for his horrid behaviour, and thinks about getting him into trouble and will be revenged.
In the garden, Peter begins to snitch on him again, until he gets curious at what Henry is looking at. He reveals him that fairies are living at the bottom to the garden, and tells Peter to never tell it to anyone, although he is desperate to tell it at school. Peter wants to see him, but Henry tells him they only come out at midnight. Henry tells them that he can only see fairies if he sits up on top of a tree, but Peter is fearful about doing it, as it is a school day and late at night. When Henry leaves, Peter questions himself which unleashes Peter's angel and devil, and he decides to do it.
At midnight, Henry and Peter sneak outside. Peter climbs to the very top of the tree, and sits himself down. However, Henry runs back upstairs and Peter finds out he has been tricked. He screams out for Mum and Dad, who are furious at him. He tries to say to them that Henry made him go upstairs, but they aren't convinced as they checked on him and he was fast asleep, or so they thought.
As Mum and Dad bring the wailing and crying Peter to his room and ban him from stamp collecting for a month, Henry is happy to hear Peter finally getting into trouble for once, but fails to notice that his pyjamas are all torn, dirty and covered in leaves. The following morning, Mum ends up noticing them, to which the story abruptly ends.
