What do you do on April 1st? Someone likes to tie his or her best friend’s shoelace（鞋带）to the desk. Some people like to put salt in the sugar bowl. In all, people like to play tricks on others on that day. Let me tell you more about April Fool’s Day.
April Fool’s Day started in Europe about 500 years ago. On that day, people play tricks on each other for fun. In France, children stick a picture of a fish on their friends’ backs. In the UK, people play jokes only in the morning. They think it can bring bad luck to do it in the afternoon. In Denmark, people celebrate April Fool’s Day on both April 1st and May 1st.
