April Fool
Every year, we celebrate many special days-Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and New Year’s Day. In North America and parts of Europe, people celebrate April Fool’s Day.
Many believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1. Some people did not like this and chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people “April fools” and played jokes (开玩笑) on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then became popular in England and Scotland, and later, to North America.
On April Fool’s Day, playing jokes is popular. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock one hour earlier, or change the sugar with salt. In Spain and Mexico, people play jokes on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31. In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. There is a lot of fun, and many shouts of “April Fool!”
