April Fool’s Day!
April Fool’s day is a day when people play some tricks on each other. This is a funny day because most of these tricks are kind of “healthy” and we can tell little lies to our friends, parents, relatives and other people, but, sometimes, some people go too far with these lies. A friend of mine, for example, once told his sister who was at school that their mother was calling her to go home and she really needed talk to the girl, but the school was very far away from their house, but anyway, the girl went there on foot and walked around 30 minutes. She arrived home tired and a little nervous because she thought her mother had a problem. When she realized that it was a trick she got very angry with her brother and gave him a piece of her mind. Also, other people take advantage of this day to practice evil and tell lies which aren’t funny anyway, but they are the minority.
According to history, until 1564, in France, the first day of the year was celebrated on April 1st. In that year, King Carlos IX decided to adopt the Gregorian calendar which celebrates the New Year on January 1st.
Just for fun, people kept saying “Happy New Year” for each other on April 1st, a day which turned out to be considered the “Fool’s day”.
