Have you ever been fooled by friends or family on April Fool's Day What did you do after that Were you angry with your friends or family Actually, April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in the hope of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool.
April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar called the Gregorian Calendar was introduced. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people didn't know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were laughed at. They were called “fools”.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his coffee “by accident”. Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
After we play the trick, we say “April Fool”. Then the poor person realizes he is fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm(伤害)to anyone.
