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 Fools” . Then the poor person realize he was fooled . It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn’t cause any real harm (伤害）to anyone .
