April Fool’s Day

The first of April is April Fool’s Day.

Boys and girls in Great Britain, in America and in many other countries like it very much. This is a day when they have a lot of fun. They play jokes on other people: they write or draw something funny and place it on another boy or girl when they don’t see it. Or they say, “There is something black on your face.” When they can’t see anything black on their faces, the children who are playing the joke on them, say, “April Fool!”

Or they say, “Mike, look, your right shoe is on your left foot!” When the boy looks at his feet and sees that he has the right shoe on the right foot, they all say, “April Fool!” So they play different jokes.

As you see, the first of April is a day for fun.
