Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He decided to go and find out. So he got off bed, put on his dressing gown(浴袍) and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.
A few minutes later he heard the bell again. Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. Then he saw a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up. There were some words on it: "It is now after midnight(午夜), so it is April Fool's Day (愚人节). April Fool!"

Mahalya Daye, 13, is an eighth-grader at Lamberton Middle School in Pennsylvania, USA. Every afternoon at nearly 2 o'clock, she runs to a store at her school. But she is not running to buy snacks. Instead, she works as the storekeeper.
“I didn't know that it took so much work. I've never really done something like this,” Mahalya said.
In fact, she is one of 12 volunteer staff members at Bison Bargains. It is the school's first store run (经营) by students. It started on Feb. 22, and it opens each school day during break time from 2 to 2:30 p.m. It mainly sells stationery (文具) and snacks.
The school wants to provide the students with a real-life business experience through this. Christian Ilg, 14, an eighth-grader, was really surprised by how hard it was not to make mistakes and do the transactions (交易). “It's kind of a challenge to learn all the information on the lists and remember all the prices of the products,” Christian said.
To learn about business, the students took a special class. They learnt how to use money and some simple business rules.
The school did a survey on what products students would buy from a school store. In the future, they plan to sell things made by the students themselves. For example, students can sell their homemade pencil boxes.
