From television revealing that spaghetti grows on trees to advertisements for the left-handed burger, the tradition of April Fool's Day stories in the media has a weird and wonderful history.
Here are several of the top ten April Fool's Day pranks ever pulled off, as judged by the US website of Museum of Hoaxes for their notoriety, absurdity, and number of people duped.
Swiss spaghetti harvest tops the hoax list. In 1957, a BBC television show announced that thanks to a mild winter and the virtual elimination of the spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. Footage of Swiss farmers pulling strands of spaghetti from trees prompted a barrage of calls from people wanting to know how to grow their own spaghetti at home.
Instant color TV sets in Sweden comes as the third. Sweden in 1962 had only one television channel, which broadcast in black and white. The station's technical expert appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, viewers could convert their existing sets to receive color pictures by pulling a nylon stocking over the screen.
US ex-president Nixon's comeback is placed at sixth. In 1992, US National Public Radio announced that Richard Nixon was running for president again. His new campaign slogan was, “I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again.” They even had clips of Nixon announcing his candidacy. Listeners flooded the show with calls expressing their outrage. Nixon's voice actually turned out to be that of impersonator Rich Little.
In , a newsletter titled New Mexicans for Science and Reason carried an article that the state of Alabama had voted to change the value of pi from 3.14159 to the “Biblical value” of 3.0.
Burger King, an American fast-food chain, published a full-page advertisement in USA Today in 1998 announcing the introduction of the “Left-Handed Whopper,” specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new burger included the same ingredients as the original, but the condiments were rotated 180 degrees. The chain said it received thousands of requests for the new burger, as well as orders for the original “right-handed” version.
Discover Magazine announced in 1995 that a highly respected biologist, Aprile Pazzo (Italian for April Fool), had discovered a new species in Antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice borer. The creatures were described as having bony plates on their heads that became burning hot, allowing the animals to bore through ice at high speed.
Noted British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on the radio in 1976 that at 9:47 am, a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event, in which Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, would cause a gravitational alignment that would reduce the Earth's gravity.

Hundreds of people called in to report feeling the sensation.

April Fools' Day is a day to play jokes on others, No one knows how this holiday began but people think it first started in France. In the 16 th century, people celebrated New Year's Day from March 25 to April 1. In the mid—1560s King Charles IX changed it from March 25 to January 1. But some people still celebrated in on April 1, so others called them April Fools. Each country celebrates April Fools' Day differently. In France, people call the April Fools “April Fish”.

April Fools’ Day is on the first day of April, which is a day for people to make fun of each other. Some people figure out all the ways to play jokes, such as getting married, which surely shocks everybody. But some jokes are not acceptable, such as suicide.
Some teenagers want to attract more people’s attention, so they play the joke that they feel negative about life and want to end their lives. When their friends call police and finally realize that it is a joke, they will be very angry. No matter what kind of joke we play, we should not cross the line and make others worried. The meaning of Fools’ Day is to let people feel eased from the great pressure. Playing joke is the effective way, but we must keep the rules.

Just kidding! April Fools!
Every year on April 1, April Fools' Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. In France, it's called Poisson d'Avril or “Fish of April.” In Scotland, the holiday is often called “Gowkie Day.” In Iraq, the holiday is called Kithbet Neesan or “April Lie.”
History experts say people have celebrated April Fools' Day for a long time. Some believe the tradition comes from the ancient Romans more than two thousand years ago. It was a day of playing games and pretending to be someone else.
Others say the day for fooling began in France in 1564, when King Charles changed the yearly calendar. He moved New Year's Day from April 1 to January 1. Many people did not know about the change because of communication problems back then. Some people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Other people called them April Fools and played jokes on them.
In the United States, April Fools' Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on friends. These kinds of jokes are also called pranks. These jokes typically end in the prankster shouting “April Fools'!”
Simple pranks, like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls, are still common. But, major companies also get in on April Fools' Day fun in a much bigger way. A few years ago, on April 1, Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes -- Plenta and Micra. The very large cups, bigger than a human head, remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee. According to Starbucks, the cups could be used as a rain hat, a pot for plants, or a lampshade.
It did not take long for customers to catch on to the prank!
More and more, people use social media or smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools' Day. One very annoying smart phone app, Cat Facts, sends funny facts about cats to your friends' phones, every day.
And sometimes, simple, more traditional April Fools' pranks go viral on social media. Last year, a class of college students in the U.S. state of Michigan played a prank on their professor. The professor had a classroom rule that, if a student's phone rings during class, the student must answer it using the speakerphone. This means the whole class gets to listen to the conversation.
One student decided to teach the professor that his rule could be dangerous. She planned for a friend to call her, pretending to be someone from the Pregnancy Resource Center. On speakerphone for the whole class to hear, the friend announced the news that the student's recent pregnancy test was positive. The professor quickly got embarrassed and told the student she should turn off speakerphone.
The student responded, “That's okay. I've been expecting this. I already know what I'm going to name the baby. The first name will be April, and the middle name will be Fools!”
The professor, of course, quickly caught on to the joke, and was quickly relieved!
The social media-savvy students posted a video of the classroom prank on a place. One year later, the video has more than 38 million views.

April 1st, April Fool's Day! Don't be fooled!
Just before the end of our science class, Mr. Wu strode into the laboratory, three steps and two steps, and announced with a serious face: “go to Xu Yuchen, Che Tianning, Zhou Jiaxiang and Jiang Haoyang at noon to pass the homework, and then go to the playground to receive the prize at 12:20.”
As soon as I heard the word “accept the award”, my idea of toad wanting swan meat rang out. I know today is April Fool's day, but now I only have the “prize” in my mind. Being stupid is not a thing.
At noon, we are in a hurry because of this prize. We went to cook from the north gate. I kept urging my aunt: “hurry up! Hurry up! Just a little less.” Then I ran to the table, thinking about the prize while eating, holding a spoon in my hand and stuffing rice into my mouth like an electric motor.
I also did my homework very fast. I didn't stop for a moment. After more than ten minutes, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. I wanted to put on my wings and fly to the playground immediately.
I ran downstairs with some friends and saw the “prize receiving office” on the playground from a distance, but we searched everywhere and couldn't find the prize.
At this time, we saw Mr. Wu, Mr. Yu and Mr. Shen coming slowly to us with a smile on their face and taking pictures constantly.
“In two lines.” Teacher Yu said to us with a smile. “Send you gifts!” We were so happy that we were about to jump up and quickly lined up.
“The gift is... Five words - Happy April Fool's Day!” Teacher Shen announced loudly. “Hahaha...” the three teachers laughed.
We were like a deflated ball, and there was another burst of wailing.
April Fool's day, have you been fooled? Ha ha, happy April Fool's Day!
Anthropologists and cultural historians provide their own explanations for the rise of April Fool＇s Day. According to them, the celebration traces its roots back to festivals marking the Springtime.
Spring is the time of year when the weather becomes fickle, as if Nature is playing tricks on man, and festivals occurring during the Spring traditionally mirrored this sense of whimsy and surprise. They often involved temporary inversions of the social order. Normal behavior no longer governed during the brief moment of transition as the old world died and the new cycle of seasons was born. Practical jokes,trickery, and the turning upside down of status expectations were all allowed.
In addition,the linkage between April Foolery and the Springtime is seen in another story that traces the origin of the custom back to the abundance of fish to be found in French streams during early April when the young fish had just hatched. These young fish were easy to fool with a hook and lure. Therefore, the French called them ＇Poisson d＇Avril＇ or ＇April Fish.＇ Soon it became customary to fool people on April 1, as a way of celebrating the abundance of foolish fish.
Time flies, a lot of the past has been buried in the brain, remember, there are some things worth recalling.
“Hush, there is a situation! Just as the hero of the road ”huashan's sword“, suddenly the spies came to the newspaper, let the various people in fear and anxiety.
The classroom was quiet at once, and the heroes were busy taking out the ”shield“ -- the book. The large classroom is silent, do not say the root needle, is the swallow saliva also can hear.
”Da, da, da... “Heard the sound of a familiar high-heeled shoe, from far to near, and the heart of the good man was beating with the march of high heels. We were supposed to have a meeting with the teacher, and we could have done a good job of ”cooking the wine hero“, but... Alas, life is bitter! When the last note stopped, the old class held a stack of papers in front of the door.
”Look, all very serious!“ A cold, unheated phrase came out of the old class's mouth, but in our ears we could not understand it, and the old class's smiling face made us tremble with fear.
”To test your review, prepare for the exam.“ ”The old class said slowly. “Oh, my god, isn't it supposed to be an exam next week? How to... It must be the old class that we don't have good discipline. ”The men were indignant, but they did not speak.
“By the way, this test will be included in the report card, which will inform the parents after the examination.” The heart of the crowd was startled, and the bright red heart had been turned purple. “By the way, in order to make the test not too bad, give a little time to review.” “Oh, MyGod,” the men nearly shouted. Therefore, the gentleman is not like the gentleman, the lady is not like a lady, one by one gobbled up the book.
“Ding... ”The bell rang, and it was strange that the examination papers should not be issued. At that moment, the old class said treacherously,“ look at your loyalty. The examination will be carried out next week.” The whole class was in an uproar. “yes, today is your festival!” “Said the old man. What? How many months ago today, April 1st, ah, April fool's day!
The lesson of this fool's lesson is to give a good impression, and it is a very memorable one.
Today is April 1. In the afternoon, we returned to our classroom after the activity class.
Today, the topic of our class meeting is reading day, but today is also April Fool's day, ”Ding Ding Ding...“ we heard the familiar voice, which is also the voice of class. Everyone is very excited.
After class, we all talked about today's math homework? Some said it was ”standard training“, others said it was oral arithmetic, mental arithmetic and skillful arithmetic. Everyone talked about it.
Teacher Dai stood up and said, ”I heard teacher Yang say there is no math homework today.“ Everyone didn't believe it and said loudly, ”teacher Dai! Happy April Fool's Day!“ Teacher Dai said, ”if you don't believe it, ask teacher Yang after class.“ Everyone smiled and said, ”teacher Dai, class is over.“ We ran out of the classroom and ran to miss yang. Miss Yang said, ”there is math homework today.“ After hearing this, we left dejected.
After returning to the classroom, teacher Dai was very happy and gave us five words, ”Happy April Fool's Day!“
Today is April Fool's day, because teacher Dai teased us. We are so miserable and happy!
In the process of getting along with friends, it is inevitable to fight, because then it will appear very intimate; There are strange quarrels, for there is peace; Intimacy is a nickname because it enhances the communication of the mind.
April fool's day is coming, in the class also started the ”reactionaries“, people in the class, all want to good for others, a good fool fool others, don't know is who came up with such a strange note - take a nickname!
”Barbecue!“ ”Mike!“ ”Write!!!!! “Ha ha, these strange strange nickname, have you seen? I don't want to tell you, these are strange, I can't help laughing (sorry, some exaggeration). We in this big class, who will not have no nickname, no nickname, that can be out! I am no exception, who call me after ”fashion“ ah!
My nickname is quite a few, the most common - sister pan. The reason is very simple, don't have to rack one's brain to think, because my surname is pan. There is another, the first time to hear, I all laugh bad -- prickly heat!! I am dizzy, that pockmark is not willing, give me a prickly heat, my name of not give me to bring an unprecedented ”disaster“ ah!! Ha ha.
”Heat rash, prickly heat, heat rash!! “This rascal, even when looking for me, also shout” heat rash “, shout I am embarrassed to come out, sweat.
I again in the heart self-consolation: still good, still good, only in April fool's day is play, otherwise that still get ah!
This morning, as soon as I entered the classroom, I pushed the door. Wow, there were a lot of paper scraps scattered on the door. Although it's a whole person, I still want to say, it's so spectacular!
Xue Xinyan from our group came and several of us said to her, ”Hey, little boots, you know, today's Chinese unit 1, 2 and 3 exam, math unit 1 and 2 spot check, and English unit 1, 2 and 3 test.“ Xue Xinyan was silly and stood there until someone called her. After the classmate finished talking with her, Xue Xinyan asked her, ”today's language, number and English test, really?“ The man saw my cunning eyes and said, ”yes, thanks to my review. The teacher talked to several parents in private, which my mother said.“ After listening again, Xue Xinyan was in pain: ”what should I do? I didn't review. It's too late. The first class is mathematics.“ We found that we would suffer if we cheated again, so we shouted in one voice: ”Happy April Fool's Day!“ As soon as she heard it, she didn't react at first. After a while, she said mischievously to us, ”what! You lied to me? Well, dare to lie to me, which scared me to death. I forgot that today is April Fool's Day!“
Today's April Fool's Day is so happy!

Today's April fool's day is very happy, I wish every day is April fool's day!
Time is like water and time flies. In the twinkling of an eye, the life of grade 5 is almost over. In these beautiful days, there are laughter, tears, pay and harvest, and the most unforgettable thing for me is April Fool's day.
That day was April 1st, April Fool's day. I hummed a little song and came to school in a happy mood. When I saw all my friends coming, I couldn't help laughing in my heart, because I would give them a big “surprise” later.
I went to Qu h Kun first and said to her mysteriously, “kun'er, I'll surprise you after the first class!” “What surprise?” Qu h Kun couldn't wait to ask. “Don't reveal the secret!” As I spoke, I made a face at her.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the bell finally rang after the first class. I quickly took out a delicate small box and said to Qu h Kun, “open it and see if there are good things in it!” “Really?” She is dubious. “I promise!” Under the coax of my classmates and I, she finally opened the box. It's really “I don't know if I don't fight, I'm scared when I fight!” With the opening of the box, a grinning monster jumped out of the box with a bang. Suddenly, a shocking scream came out of Qu h Kun's mouth. Seeing “the plot succeeded”, I covered my ears and said proudly, “Happy April Fool's Day!” Qu h Kun, who had slowed down, suddenly stretched out her “magic claw” and scratched on me. When I was scratched to the itch, I “giggled” and laughed. The people who laughed turned upside down and the sky was dark. He had to beg for mercy: “forgive me, boss, but I dare not dare to do it again!”
In the twinkling of an eye, it was time for lunch. I had forgotten the scene in the morning. I was having a sweet lunch. Suddenly, Qu h Kun smiled and said to me, “Zhao, I wish you a happy holiday!” This sentence made my father-in-law monk - confused, so he vaguely replied, “thank you!” As soon as the voice fell, there was laughter. Qu h Kun said triumphantly, “oh yeah, you've been recruited. Today is April Fool's day. You're a fool!” “Ah?” The reaction came, I really want to cry without tears
Alas, originally I wanted to play tricks on others, but I didn't expect that one was careless and became an “April Fool”.
There have been quite a few attempts to provide mythological explanations for the rise of April Fool＇s Day.
One story dates back to Roman mythology, particularly the myth of Ceres (the Goddess of grain and the harvest) and Proserpina. In Roman mythology Pluto, the God of the Dead, abducted Proserpina and brought her to live with him in the underworld. Proserpina called out to her mother Ceres for help, but Ceres, who could only hear the echo of her daughter＇s voice, searched in vain for Proserpina. The fruitless search of Ceres for her daughter was commemmorated during the Roman festival of Cerealia and believed by some to have been the mythological antecedent of the fool＇s errands popular on April 1st.
British folklore linked April Fool＇s Day to the town of Gotham. According to the legend, it was traditional in the 13th century for any road that the King travelled over to become public property. People in Gotham didn＇t want to lose their main road and spread a false story to stop the King. A messenger was sent to Gotham after King John learned the people＇s trick. But when the messenger arrived in Gotham he found the town was full of lunatics who were engaged in foolish activities such as drowning fish or attempting to cage birds in roofless fences. The King fell for the hoax and declared the town too foolish to warrant punishment. And ever since then, April Fool＇s Day has supposedly commemmorated their trickery.
April Fool's Day is coming. After dinner, I learned the tone of the host and said happily: “today is April Fool's day. In order to celebrate the festival, tonight we will hold an April Fool's day competition. Whoever can cheat the most people will win and become an April fool.”
After a while, my mother asked me to help her throw out the garbage. As I walked, I thought: how to fool others? By the way, people below always ask me to send messages for my father and ask him to fight Lao K. I'll take this opportunity to let my father go for nothing. My father will definitely go down. When I got home, I said solemnly, “the people below asked you to fight old K again! If you don't believe it, go and have a look!” Dad thought for a while, but as I expected, he went.
Ha! I added one point. The uncle was unwilling to be outdone and shouted, “the TV series has begun. Let's see your brother and sister!” Dad saw that the time was almost up, so he walked over and looked at it. It was not good! Fooled again, it's still a long advertisement. Uncle plus 0.5 points, because mom didn't go. I also wanted to add points, so I took out a box of sugar made of paper and gave it to my mother. My mother was not careless. When I was about to open the sugar paper and eat it, I suddenly saw through my trick and didn't get fooled by me. I added 0.2 points.
Time flies. It's almost bedtime, but my parents are still reading. I went to watch TV for a while. My parents shouted, “you go to bed first. We have to work overtime at home until 12 o'clock! Go to bed first!” As soon as I heard that it was going to be added to 12 o'clock, I went to bed. But in a few minutes, my parents finished work. I cried, “aren't you going to add 12 o'clock?” I was stunned. They fooled me unconsciously! Haha, mom and dad also added one point.
I'm still a fool today. We're so happy.
I like April fool's day best. It is a special day, which is called “freedom of speech”. Whatever you say, you have the right to be forgiven.
And today's April fool's day is different. In April, when the buds are in bud, there is a rare spring snow. In the morning, when I open my eyes, the first thing I see is the feathery snow outside my window. I am looking at the white petals falling slowly. · after the excitement of this first arrival, I realized that it was April, how could I still get such a big snowfall, so that “countless new green”, how could the sky be a joke... ,
I can't wait to brush teeth face, want to go out to have a snowball fight with the schoolmates, the result just stepped out the door, the classmate in the dormitory looked at me with surprise: “ah! Why is your face swollen? !” I rushed back to my bedroom and fiddled with my face in front of the mirror: “ah... Be cheated!!! How stupid! I turned around with a bad intention and smiled at my classmate. ”go! Let's have a snowball fight! “And I pulled him out of the way: hum! If I didn't care too much about the image, I would not be cheated by you, see how I treat you! In fact, there is a famous ”famous saying“ about April fool's day in xinjiang: ”who let me have April fool's day, I buried him, let him four days after the qingming festival! “Oh, there is no way, the xinjiang man is so agile! Today's heavy snow is like the ”buried man's tool“ provided to me by god. I must dig a snow pit and bury her alive.
Half a foot deep snow covered my leg, I crept forward moving, just when I was going to dig a hole, the ”intelligent“ wit classmates seemed to guess my mind, pick me into snow, unfortunately, I have the very stone stumbled a fall: ”oh my god! Are you kidding me again? I jumped up angrily: “come, fight!” I picked up a handful of snow and threw it at her, and she showed no sign of weakness. She bared her teeth with a pair of “donkey's hoofs” with her back to me.
In the laughter, the bell rang! As he walked into the classroom, he looked at the white world behind him, like “the sky and the clouds and the mountains and the water, up and down 100”, as depicted in zhang dai. What a world of celestial beings!
Today is a special holiday, which is our favorite holiday for troublemakers, because you can make fun of others. When others find out, shout “Happy April Fool's Day”. No matter who it is, you won't blame, but sulk alone.
In the morning, I went to gymnastics with the team. I trotted all the way. The students were talking and laughing behind me. My mood was happy with the beautiful weather. Teacher Feng suddenly patted me on the head and said, “your pants are on the wrong side.” Ah! I was surprised. I was so embarrassed and lost my face. I quickly lowered my head and looked at my pants. I didn't wear them upside down. The teacher suddenly laughed. Oh, by the way, today is April Fool's day. How could I forget? I couldn't say a word when I looked at the teacher's spring smile. I swear in my heart: I can't be fooled today.
This afternoon, after lunch, as usual, I walked through the knowledge Pavilion and sat on the bench. A classmate came up to me and said, “Lao Jia, you have a grain of rice on your face.” I hurried to touch and couldn't touch anything. I suddenly realized that I was fooled again on April Fool's day. I was a fool. My heart was suddenly unbalanced. I also wanted to fool Mr. Feng. I thought and walked towards him.
I came to teacher Feng and pretended to be surprised and said, “ah, teacher, you have a grain of rice on your face. Here, here, here is your nose.” Teacher Feng also hurried to touch it. I said, “Happy April Fool's day.” I thought very high in my heart. I finally succeeded in fooling. I'm also very smart! Meng Zhijian, a boy in our class, came over and a girl said, “Meng Zhijian, the teacher asked you to go to the gate post to get the express.” Meng Zhijian walked over foolishly. We all laughed. Looking at his fading back, we were considering whether the joke should continue. We guessed Meng Zhijian's experience. I don't know who said: “the master of the gate thought Meng Zhijian was playing tricks on him and fooled each other.” Meng Zhijian came over and we girls shouted together, “Happy April Fool's day.” Ha ha, it's fun to play tricks.
This beautiful memory will become a permanent memory.
Today is April Fool's day. I came to school with my careful thoughts. Mr. Wei said that if anyone cheated him, he would be rewarded again. I had an idea and thought of a good way. I went to Mr. Wei while laughing secretly and had fun in my heart. But who thought Mr. Wei was not in the office, so I had to go back to the classroom. I thought, there's still another chance if I have nothing to do.
At noon, a classmate said to me, “in the second class, Mr. Wei asked me to change my book.” I agreed without thinking. When Mr. Xiong heard that the students had to try their best to cheat Mr. Wei, he smiled and said, “why don't we stop the exam today and leave some time to torture Mr. Wei.” The students opened their eyes wide and stared at Mr. Xiong, a little skeptical. Just as I was still thinking, Mr. Xiong smiled and said, “Happy April Fool's day, I lied to you!” The students couldn't help saying, “cut.” One face was full of lost expressions.
Just after the exam, teacher Deng came and said solemnly, “don't move the table back.” When I heard this, my heart was going to collapse! But I have to face the reality. “Ding Ding...” the bell rang. Teacher Deng took a stack of test papers and stepped into the classroom. The students looked at teacher Deng with sad faces, but a miracle happened suddenly. Teacher Deng turned a smiling face and said to us with a smile: “Happy April Fool's day.” At this time, the students suddenly realized that they jumped three feet high with joy. I have to say that Mr. Deng's acting skills are extraordinary. Although there are some small defects in the performance, I have been kept in the dark by Mr. Deng. Mr. Deng can change his career to be a professional actor! Alas, I don't blame Mr. Deng for being too clever, but we are too stupid! Teacher Deng played a wonderful play and played us in the palm of the Tathagata God.
Finally, after class, I went to Mr. Wei to change my homework. Unexpectedly, I was fooled again. The teacher didn't ask me to change my homework. I was fooled by that classmate. I can't help sighing: “I didn't fool others on April Fool's day, but I was fooled by others.”
Finally, in the evening, I sighed a long sigh. This is also the perfect end of April Fool's day, which I am worried about and guard against everywhere!
Yeah! The annual April fool's day is finally here. Our slogan today is: “the deceiver is not wrong. Hee hee! It's going to happen! Don't miss it. Come and see it!
”Ding ling bell --“ class. The teacher, who was always serious, came into the classroom with a stack of papers, put the papers on the table, and solemnly declared, ”students, we are going to take the third unit in math.“ The teacher's voice just fell, the individual ”abnormal molecule“ is stupid. In order to cope with this sudden test, the ”a class super offense“ wang took the math book out of his bag and hid it in his clothes, and then he could use it to solve the problem. My deskmate ”smart“ liu shuai ”jingling“ a computer to eliminate the sound, but really is clever lift ah! In their ”inspiration“, I also do not want to show weakness, with the quick thunder of the power to tear off a few pieces of paper, so that ”the flying pigeon book“... Just as we were very busy, the teacher's face showed a bright smile and said loudly, ”students, happy April fool's day!“ As soon as the students heard this, they suddenly took a deep breath and began to laugh. The tension had vanished.
The class was over, and as usual, Mr. Cheng of sven said to me, ”zhou mingxing, your shoelace is open.“ I listen, just want to squat down to the department, suddenly think of today is April fool's day, so the plan, by the trend of his shoelace untied. He was not on his guard, and walked away, thinking he had succeeded in the scheme. But, without taking a few steps, his body tilted and fell to the ground. The students burst out laughing, but cheng didn't understand what was going on and stared at us.
After school, I suddenly came up with a ”ghost idea“ on the road -- make a fool of my mother. Yeah, that's it. When I got home, I opened the door sadly. My mother said, ”come and see your favorite cartoon, son.“ I threw my bag on the floor and said in dismay, ”what do you see? Only 45 points for the test... Before I had finished, my mother was furious and picked up the “mace”. She was about to call me. I was in a bad mood and said quickly, “wait a minute! Nice guy, April fool!” Mother, turning her anger to joy, couldn't help laughing. I made a face and ran away.
My friends, if you are a fool to make a fool of yourself this day, you are a fool, remember not to be angry! The only thing to do is to be careful, be careful, and be careful. Caution, caution, caution. Be careful! Hey hey...
Nowadays, there appears a phenomenon that the westerncustoms are spreading into the east countries step by step, thus making many inhabitants who live in big cities enjoy themselves on these western festivals such as Christmas Day, April Fool’s Day, etc. Such phenomenon shows us that the world people are getting close gradually and the world is becoming smaller and smaller as well. Therefore, in my opinion, it’s a normal phenomenon s well as a necessary trend. First of all, it shows that we Chinese have become much opener rather than clinging to some very old customs, which are opposite our living. Looking back on the history, we can find the answer to why our China was very poor and weak in the 1800’s. Yes, the answer is that we closed ourselves not to let other countries know about us, and this led us to a very hard road on which we suffered many wars that many European countries launched. So I think it is more than necessary to accept other customs instead of closing ourselves.
Of course, festivals are just the beginning. What’s more, the Open and Reform Policy results in this. So I want to say it is a great achievement for the policy. Since we took the policy into practice, our country is developing with a rapid speed. No doubt it is an essential trend. Last but not the least, we may get closer and closer not only to our home friends but also to many foreigners. We can never feel embarrassed for not knowing the other’s customs and manners. And more misunderstandings can be avoided as well. To sum up, the trend has its great advantage to a certain extent.
However, if we admire the western customs too much, it will be a disadvantage because China is our own country, all of us should enjoy a patriotic heart. Wish in the near future, we can see the situation that westerners are enjoying themselves on the Spring Festival. April Fool Last March, my mother told my father and me that my grandfather would come in April. We were very happy because my grandfather was an interesting old man and he had not visited us since he went to Hong Kong. On April 1 my father and I bought a lot of food from the supermarket and bought a big bunch of flowers home. Then we did some cleaning at home. At night when we were waiting for my grandfather, the bell rang and in came my mother. She smiled to us and said “April fools”!
