One April Fl’s Day, a reprter in England annunced that there wuld be n mre spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stpped grwing spaghetti. Many peple ran t their lcal supermarkets t buy as much spaghetti as they culd. By the time peple realized that the stry
was a hax, all f the spaghetti acrss the cuntry had been sld ut. In anther famus trick a TV shw in England reprted the discvery f special water. They said this water wuld help peple lse weight and that ne custmer had already lst a lt f weight in just fur mnths. By the
end f the day, mre than 10,000 peple had phned the TV statin t find ut hw t get this water. Many April Fl’s jkes may end up being nt very funny. A famus TV star nce invited his girlfriend nt his shw n April Fl’s Day. He asked her t marry him. The lady was s
happy because she really wanted t get married. Hwever, when she said “yes”, he replied, “April Fl!” That little jke didn’t have a very happy ending. The TV star lst his girlfriend and his shw was canceled. One f the wrld’s mst famus tricks, hwever, happened in Octber rather than
