April 1st is a day on which ,in some countries, people try to play tricks .If one succeeds in tricking someone , one laughs and says “April Fool!” and then the person who is tricked usually laughs, too.
One April 1st, a country bus was going along a winding road when it slowed down and stopped. The driver anxiously turned switches and pressed buttons, but nothing happened. Then he turned to passengers with a worried look on his face and said, “This poor bus is getting old .It isn’t going as well as it used to. There’s one thing to do if we want to get home today. I’ll count three. I want you all to lean forward suddenly as hard as you can. This should get the bus started again, but if it doesn’t, I am afraid there’s nothing else I can do. Now, all of you ,lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”
The passengers all pressed back against their seats and waited anxiously.
Then the driver turned to his front and asked , “Are you ready?” The passengers barely had enough breath to answer “Yes”
“One! Two! Three!” counted the driver. The passengers all lent forward suddenly—and the bus started up at a great speed.
The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile with relief. But their smile turned to surprise and laughter when the driver merrily cried, “April Fool.”
