April Fool's Day
April Fool’s Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is
on the first of April every year. People can play practical jokes. That's why
you shouldn't believe what is said to you and you should be doubtful of the
people around you on this day. Someone might change the time on another
person's alarm to make him wake up very early or very late. Or she / he may put
a lot of pepper in another's food. Of course all this is done just for fun.
when the trick is played people say "April Fool" to make the poor
person realize that it was just a joke.
Some of the well known and most successful pranks
or practical jokes were on the media - television, radio
stations, newspapers... For instance, a BBC television program ran a famous
hoax in 1957, showing Italians harvesting spaghetti from trees. A large number
of people contacted the BBC wanting to know how to cultivate spaghetti trees.
In 2008, the BBC again reported on a newly discovered colony of flying penguins
showing people walking with the penguins in Antarctica, and following their flight
to the Amazon rainforest.
