It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day. On April 1st each year,people play tricks on each other. Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces(鞋带) to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that makes students feel scared before they realize it's only a joke. Newspapers report on fake news (like "UFO" lands in New York City)and announce fake contests (such as"Win an elephant!").
One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria(自助餐厅).The chickens ran around the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers(羽毛) were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(标签) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No. 1, 2, 3 and 5.Where was chicken No. 4 The teachers looked and looked. They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them.There were only four chickens in the first place! They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens. It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.
