More recently, namely at the beginning of the 20th century, each April Fools' joke had its own national peculiarity - the color that was inherent in each country individually. In France, the draws on April 1 were called April fish, because during this period of time the sun was in the constellation of fish. These were mostly urban jokes. In England, from such innocent "fish" jokes, the holiday "Fools' Day" was formed, when, starting at 12 a.m., everyone had every right to play a trick on their relatives and friends. All those who fell for the tricks were greeted with loud laughter and cries of "April Fool!"
Excellent draws on April 1 presented in the United States in 1957. The most successful of them was called a live broadcast on a well-known television channel, when the speaker, amid shots from Switzerland, talked about a rich pasta crop. Such a report caused a storm of emotions among citizens. Someone was bewildered that the pasta was growing vertically, and not vice versa, some asked to send seedlings, and only a small part of the viewers were confused, because people were sure that the pasta was made of nothing more than flour.
In some countries, for example, in Austria and Germany, this day was considered unfortunate, since it was believed that everyone who was born on that day was doomed to a life of bad luck. Moreover, according to legend, it was on April 1 that Judas was born. However, such facts do not prevent the local population from preparing their draws for April 1. The most common are dead orders. So, many parents send their children to buy mosquito fat from the merchant or pharmacist or something else like that.
Several decades have passed since then, and the holiday is still relevant. Today, the draws on April 1 have become more cunning, thoughtful and interesting.
