One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out.

The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.

One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than in April. In that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and fear spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax, thousands of people had left their homes.

Later that day, I knew he put toothpaste (牙膏) into the Oreo. I couldn’t believe I was fooled by him. I brushed my teeth again. After that, my brother gave me a box of Oreo, and said “Happy April Fool’s Day.” Finally I was happy to get these delicious biscuits.
I think I had a happy and lucky day.
