April Fool’s Day is a funny day in England. It’s on the first of April. On the first of April people say things which are not true. When the things are funny, people laugh. But it is only in the morning – we can’t do it after twelve o’clock. For example, Lucy’s mother says to Lucy, “Look! There is a black cat in your schoolbag.” Lucy looks in her schoolbag but there is no cat there. Her mother laughs and says, “April Fool!”
