Everyone may play a joke on others on April Fools' Day. And my father did one last April Fools' Day.
It was Sunday and we were all sitting at the table when my father suddenly smiled and said to us, "Oh, dear, I forgot to tell you the good news. There's a letter from your granny. She is coming to see us this afternoon. I'm going to meet her at the station." With these words he went out.
How happy we were! We hadn't seen our granny for nearly a year and we missed her very much. After lunch my mother and I went shopping. We bought a lot of food that my granny liked. My sister cleaned the house. It was four o'clock when we finished and we sat around the table, waiting for our granny. At last the door opened and came in my father, alone. "Where's our granny?" We asked. Father laughed and said, "April Fools! Today is April 1st, April Fools' Day."
We were disappointed after we heard this, but we all laughed.
