821 - FRANK

Phil And Reggie were two best mates. One day Phil played a prank on Reggie. He gave him a contaminated drink, thinking it was harmless. But when Reggie drank it, it affected him badly and he needed a spell in hospital. Phil came to visit, but Reggie was still seething and said "you're a crank - I don't want to talk to you". (Whilst in hospital he'd been thinking of horrible ways to pay him back, even imagining locking his head in a brank) But Phil held their friendship in too high a regard and placated Reggie with apologies and gifts. After that they had a frank discussion about how to rebuild their friendship.
