Day of Jokes


An April Fools joke happens on 1st April. On that day there are often false stories in the newspapers and on the television and radio.

The BBC produced a
spoof April Fools' documentary about 'spaghetti trees', while Burger King introduced a left-handed burger. And a famous astronomer made a very strange radio announcement about gravity on April 1.

In most countries April Fools jokes usually happen before midday. In France, for example, you have 'April Fish'. Children try to secretly pin paper fish on to each other.

Nobody knows how April Fools Day started. Perhaps it was to celebrate the start of spring.
