April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others. . However, the April Fool's Day of 1989 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple— act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦). Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. when he saw the problem. He told her he would take me to the hospital. . Because that day was April Fool's Day. She really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced (确信) by Jimmy's mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so sad—she thought this was just a big hoax at first.
I guess one could compare this to the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". . I as well as my mom was made to. look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.
