Sally had a bad day. This morning，when she got out of bed，she broke her watch. When she went to brush her teeth，she dropped her toothbrush.
At breakfast，Sally dropped her breakfast plate on the floor. One of her pancakes even flew up to the ceiling（天花板） and didn't fall back down!
After breakfast, she missed the school bus. By the time she went outside, the school bus had left. So she had to take a taxi.
When Sally arrived at school，she found she had forgotten to bring her math homework. And in the P．E. class，she fell over and hurt her knee badly.
“I'm having a bad day，” Sally cried，throwing herself on her bed after she came home.
“What's the matter，Sally？” her mom asked.“ You've only been home from school for five minutes.”
Sally couldn't stop crying long enough to tell her mom.
“I know what will make you happy. Come with me，” her mom said.They walked down the street to the park. Mom pushed Sally on the swings（秋千）.
“Wheee！It's fun，” Sally laughed.
“This is for you，” her mom said，handing Sally a pretty flower.“Do you feel better now？”“Yes，Mom，” Sally smiled. She put her hand into her mom's and they went home happily.

April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in the hope of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool.
April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar called the Gregorian calendar was introduced. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people didn't know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were laughed at. They were called fools.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his coffee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
After we play the trick, we say "April Fools". Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm(伤害) to anyone.
