April 1st is no ordinary day. It is a day when you have to watch every step you make, don't make one wrong move and most of all trust no one! This day is called April Fools' Day.

April Fools' Day is a day when people play jokes on each other. Some of the most common jokes are "Hey, your shoe is untied," and when they look at their shoes the person says "April Fools". Another is "Hey, there's a spider behind your back."

In Latin April is Aperire. In France April Fools' Day is nicknamed "April Fish Day". This is because sometimes on April Fools' Day the children try to put a paper fish on the grownups back and then they ask them if they see the Poisson d'Avril.

No one ever knows why they celebrate April like this. Even some poems say so like in this one:

The reason for April Fools' Day was that back in medieval times the kings and queens had jesters to make them in a good mood. The jesters wore a hat that had bells on the end of them. They carried a stick that had a jester's head on it and the jesters pretended to be its voice.

On April 1st the jesters had a day off and the noblemen had to take the jesters place. April first is my favorite day, one, because it is April Fools' Day and, two, because it is my birthday
