April 1st is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play tricks on others (戏弄别人) .If one succeeds in tricking somebody, one laughs and says, ‘April Fool’ , and then the person who has been tricked usually laughs too.
One April 1st , a country bus was going along a winding road when it slowed down and stopped. The driver anxiously turned switches and pressed buttons (扭开关,按按钮.) ,but nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers with a worried look on his face and said. ‘This poor bus is getting old. It isn't going as well as it used to. There's only one thing to do if we want to get home today. I shall count three, and on the word ‘ three’ , I want you all to lean forward suddenly as you can. That should get the bus started again, but if it doesn't, I' m afraid there is nothing else I can do. Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready. ’
The passengers get ready and waited anxiously.
Then the driver turned to his front and asked ‘Are you ready?’
The passengers hardly had enough breath to answer, ‘Yes’.
‘ One ! Two ! Three ! ’ counted the driver . The passengers all swung forward suddenly and the bus started up at a great speed .
The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile with relief(宽慰地笑了) . But their smile turned to surprise and then laughter when the driver happily cried, ‘April Fool ! ’
