- This day is here called "All Fool's Day".
Practical jokes are still played on that day but not to so great an extent as long ago.
A local couplet runs:-
"April Fool is passed and gone
And you're the fool that caries it on".
This is said next day to the person who succeeded in fooling another.- Collector
- Pupils of 5th to 8th Class
