April Fool's Day Short Story
In most countries, April 1st is designated as April Fools' Day, or All Fools' Day. Its name comes from the custom of pulling practical jokes on people on this day, like sending them on “fools' errands.” Even though the day has been observed for millennia, its precise beginnings are still a mystery. It is comparable to the Holi festival in India and the Hilaria festival in ancient Rome.
