Now, all of you ,lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”

       Then the driver turned to his front and asked , “Are you ready?” The passengers barely had enough breath to answer “Yes”

       “One! Two! Three!” counted the driver. The passengers all lent forward suddenly—and the bus started up at a great speed.

       The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile with relief. But their smile turned to surprise and laughter when the driver merrily cried, “April Fool.”
