You have to be careful Fool's Day
第 1 页 共 9 页



1st April is a day to be careful, or you could easily get
tricked by someone. It’s April fool’s Day, a day when
people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone
else and laugh at them.
There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the
day, but one explanation is connected with the change in
the calendar in the 16th century, which meant that 1st April
was no longer the beginning of the year. Those who still
celebrated the New Year on 1st April were called fools.
So what kind of pranks do people play on April fool’s Day?
Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on
your friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater
and pull a piece of white thread through it, so that people
try to pull it off. You could change the time on someone’
s alarm clock so that they’re late for work. Or glue a
coin to the floor and see how many people try to pick it up.
All these are small-scale practical jokes which you might
play on one other person or a few people. But there’s also
a tradition of large companies attempting to fool a lot of
people. For example a burger restaurant once claimed that

they were introducing a left-handed burger!
In particular, the media often try to make people believe
something which is not true. Newspapers publish some
ludicrous stories every year, although some of them are
actually true. It’s entertaining to try to guess which
stories are true and which are fake. In the April Fool’s
stories, they often include a clue to the fact that it’s
a joke. For example the name of an ‘expert’ quoted in
the article might be an anagram of ‘April Fool’.
Radio and television programmes have also fooled many
people by broadcasting reports which are untrue. One
programme announced the invention of an amazing new
weight-loss product - water which contained minus calories!
And one of the most famous hoaxes ever was broadcast by the
BBC itself in 1957! A very serious news programme called
Panorama reported on the poor spaghetti harvest in
Switzerland, and showed pictures of farmers picking
spaghetti from trees! Hundreds of people were taken in and
wrote to the BBC asking how to grow their own spaghetti.

An unforgettable April Fool's Day
Growing up as a child, April Fools Day was the one holiday
I never felt clever enough to take part in. I was creative
enough to make a costume for Halloween, or bake a dozen
heart-shaped cookies on Valentine's Day, but I never had
any good ideas for playing pranks.
In elementary school, all my classmates would prepare a
joke to play on April Fools Day. The joke was usually meant
to be played on the teacher, and, for a week in advance, all
the students would get together at lunch to plan out what
the prank was going to be. This went on for years- since I
went to a grade school with the same thirty students for
all of primary school.
The ring leader of our class was a boy named Michael, and
Michael always came up with the best pranks. When we were in
the fourth grade he convinced us all to wear regular
clothes instead of our school uniforms- even though we
didn't have permission to. In the sixth grade, he got us
all to agree to switch identities so that when the teacher
called on me, I wouldn't answer for myself- instead another

classmate would speak.
Our teachers always put up with our silly antics, even if
they were childish. They always knew that Michael was in
charge of our jokes as well, but they never punished him.
They seemed to understand that as children we were entitled
to a bit of fun, more-over that Michael got a lot of joy
from organizing the whole thing and making us laugh with
his crazy ideas.
In my final year of primary school Michael decided that for
April Fools Day we needed to play our best prank yet. We all
got together as a class- all fifteen boys and fifteen girls-
and started spitting out ideas left and right. Michael
really wanted it to be something no one at school would
ever forget, so a lot of the ideas got rejected. No one
questioned when Michael shot down an idea. He was the king
of pranks, so we listened to all of his suggestions and
criticisms.
I'd never really spoken up during this yearly ritual, but
something in me wanted to be a part of it this year. It was
my last year before high school was to begin and I wanted

to think that in our final scam, I would be an integral
part of the plan. I wanted to use my creativity for a change
and make everybody laugh.
On the third day of our meetings, the whole class got
together at lunch and sat in our usual spot underneath a
row of trees next to the soccer field. Sandwiches and juice
boxes in hand, people started to once again feed our
ring-leader ideas- each of which he discarded. Finally, I
decided that maybe my idea was good enough. I was pretty
positive Michael wouldn't think it wise enough, but I
figured it was worth a shot. Besides, after all those years
of sitting quietly and agreeing to whatever it was he
thought of, I really had nothing to lose. Even if my idea
wasn't
that I even thought of something. That was reason enough
for me to get up and give it a go.
Putting my lunch down, I stood up in front of my classmates
and gave a suggestion.

play the prank from outside of school?

follow.

for school. I think our whole class should be absent.
Everybody stared at me in complete shock. An entire class
of thirty students, being absent on the same day would be
an absolute riot. Michael has a big grin on his face, but
the other students had a lot of questions.

The chances of each of us getting them to allow it are slim
to none. If one person shows up because their parents force
them to go, then the prank is ruined.
I could see my idea wasn't winning them over, but then
Michael stepped in,
This could be the funniest thing we do. Raquel, I think you
found a winner.
slowly everyone else did too. I could see they thought it
was funny, but they were just worried it wouldn't work.
April Fools day finally arrived and we set our plan into
motion. The night before some students faked a stomach ache

after dinner. Some of my classmates faked fevers that
morning. One or two students actually had been sick and
couldn't get out of bed. I told my parents that I had an
awful headache and needed to stay home.
Knowing what day it was, my parents asked if I was joking.
I told them,
the best prank ever on Mrs. Butler, and I am so mad I'm
going to miss it! I really am feeling sick though, and I
think its better I stay in. I wish I could be there, but I
just feel terrible.

missing out and allowed me to stay in. Little did they
know, this was the prank!

I was proud of myself for getting the courage to suggest
the prank, and I was even more proud that people liked it-

I'll never forget, and I'm sure the school never has either.
