　　“校长要你到他的办公室里去。”一个朋友对他说这些话的可怜的孩子开始担心，突然周围的人都笑了起来，大声喊道，“愚人节！”因为这是4月1日，或者全是愚人节。在英国和其他一些国家，在那一天对人耍花招是很常见的。孩子们被允许在晚上十二点之前对朋友们开无害的玩笑。通常他们试图欺骗其他孩子做傻事。不仅是孩子们喜欢这样的笑话。成年人也喜欢欺骗他人。甚至报纸和收音机有时也试图用一个聪明的愚人节故事来愚弄公众。
　　例如，前一段时间，一个非常严肃的BBC电视节目做了一个关于意大利面条树的十分钟报道。记者说，最近天气不好，树木生产的意大利面不如平时多。他说意大利面的价格会上涨。很多电视观众不知道意大利面是用什么做的，实际上他们相信这个故事。一些家庭主妇匆匆忙忙地去买那些即将供不应求的食物。
