APRIL FOOLS EXPLANATION

APRIL FOOLS DAY

April Fools’ Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated by many people around the world on April 1st. It’s a day where people play all kinds of tricks on friends and family.Another name for April Fools’ Day is All Fools’ Day.
In some countries, you have until noon to play your jokes. If you play a trick on someone after midday, you are the April Fool. In other countries, April Fool’s Day lasts the whole day. On this day, you never know what or who to believe. Even newspapers and television stations play April Fool’s jokes on their readers and viewers. Sometimes people actually think the real news is an April Fool’s joke.
Some of the most famous April Fool’s jokes are quite amazing. In 1957 the BBC showed a documentary of people in Switzerland cutting spaghetti from spaghetti trees. Lots of people contacted the BBC asking how they could grow their own spaghetti trees! Another good one was the “left-handed burger” advertised by Burger King on April 1st, 1998. Many customers asked the Burger King staff for the traditional right-handed burger. Other classic jokes include the BBC’s 1965 news of “Smell-o-vision” and Google’s 2008 invitation for people to apply to be astronauts to live on the website’s new base on Mars. If you believe that, you’ll believe anything!

THE WORLD PEACE SONG

CLICK HERE TO WATCH AND SING

Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth. Peace is all of these and more and more.

Menachem Begin

If there is to be peace in the world,

There must be peace in the nations.


If there is to be peace in the nations,

There must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities,

There must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors,

There must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home,

There must be peace in the heart.

Lao-tse

Chinese Philosopher, 6th Century BC
