请英文故事的笑话并翻译

Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a man named John. John was known for his love of pranks and practical jokes. One day, he decided to play a hilarious joke on his best friend, Peter.

John knew that Peter was terrified of spiders. So, he went to a pet store and bought a fake spider that looked incredibly realistic. He carefully put it inside a box and wrapped it up as a gift for Peter.

The next day, John gave the gift to Peter and told him it was something very special. Excitedly, Peter opened the box and screamed at the top of his lungs when he saw the fake spider inside. He jumped back, knocking over a chair in the process.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter, including John. Peter realized he had been pranked and couldn't help but laugh along. He admitted that it was a clever joke, even though it scared him half to death.

From that day on, Peter was always on high alert whenever John was around, fearing that another prank might be waiting for him. But deep down, he appreciated John's sense of humor and knew that their friendship was built on laughter and good times.

Translation:

从前，在一个小镇上，有一个叫约翰的人。约翰以他对恶作剧和玩笑的热爱而闻名。一天，他决定给他最好的朋友彼得玩一个搞笑的玩笑。

约翰知道彼得非常害怕蜘蛛。所以，他去宠物店买了一只看起来非常逼真的假蜘蛛。他小心地把它放在盒子里，然后把盒子包装好，作为彼得的礼物。

第二天，约翰把礼物交给彼得，并告诉他这是一件非常特别的东西。彼得兴奋地打开盒子，当他看到里面的假蜘蛛时，他尖叫起来。他退后一步，顺便把一把椅子撞倒了。

房间里的每个人都笑得前仰后合，包括约翰。彼得意识到自己被恶作剧了，忍不住也笑了起来。他承认这是一个聪明的玩笑，尽管吓到了他。

从那天起，每当约翰在附近时，彼得总是保持高度警惕，担心又会有另一个玩笑等着他。但他内心深处很欣赏约翰的幽默感，并知道他们的友谊建立在欢笑和美好时光之上
