ROMANIA
APRIL 1 - APRIL FOOL'S DAY
BY MARIA
Mark Twain once wrote:
“April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four.”
1 April, also called ‘Fools’ Day’ + 1 June = the most exciting days for children who are trying every year to fool their parents and teachers. For those who have a great sense of humor and an incredible imagination for pranks, 1 April is a perfect day to have some fun.
Here is an amusing video. Don’t you dare to try this at home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epyTltw_dUc
There are two possibilities in which we can explain the origin of this day:
1. Religious: Noah’s Ark is the vessel by which Noah saves himself, his family, and a remnant of all the world’s animals from the flood. It is said that Noah sent his pigeon to look for land when the flood was drawing to an end 1 April.
