APRIL FOOLS DAY

1st April is known as April Fools Day in England. Sometimes it is named All fools Day; It is not a legal holiday. It is the day when we play pratical jokes on people but only before midday, after that it is considered unlucky, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool".
No one knows when this custom began but it has been kept for hundreds of years.
The First of April, somo do say
is set apart for All Fools Day;
But why the people call it so,
not I, nor they themselves do know.
A similar tradition is celebrated in Spain and Latin America, but it takes place on December the 28th and it´s called Día de los Santos Inocentes
