<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

One day when I was about 9, I decided to steal and hide the stuffed whale that my 7 year old sister had gotten from a family vacation to Sea World. Now I'm not a complete jerk, and my end goal was to make her laugh when she found it. So, being the brilliant kid that I was, I carefully placed the whale upside down in a lamp shade with it's tail sticking out of the top and face resting perfectly center on the lamp's bulb. Forgetting about it, I went about my day expecting to later have the pleasure of giving my sister a giggle when she asked me what happened to her favorite stuffed animal. A couple hours passed and my day was going normally until I was suddenly startled by the smoke alarm going off in the living room. When I went in the room to observe what had caused the smoke alarm to go off, I was greeted by the terrible smell of plastic beads burning, and the remains of a whale that had ~~melted~~ welded to the lamp's light bulb. It turned out that someone had flipped on the lamp without noticing the whale sticking out of the top of it, and the lamp was left on for what I would guess to be about 45 minutes to an hour. Needless to say, my sister screamed in horror and cried for the rest of the day once she saw it, and I ended up buying her a new stuffed whale to make up for it. She still has it to this day.
