PRACTICAL JOKES A practical joke is not something which is said, but something which

is done, and it is usually done to make people laugh at somebody. Practical joking is fun. You may hide a friend's books, and you like to watch he looks everywhere for them, and you laugh together when at last he finds them and learns who has hidden them and why. But if you pull a chair away just as your friend is sitting down, or put something for him to fall over, he may be hurt. Such practical jokes are not good.

The best kind of practical jokes is one which is not a cause of trouble to anybody, but which everybody can enjoy.

17

In England, and in some other countries, such practical jokes or tricks are usually played on the first of April. If one is successful in tricking somebody, he laughs and says, "April Fool!" and the other person laughs too.

Once on April 1, a country bus was going along a road when it suddenly slowed down and stopped. The driver turned switches and pressed buttons, but nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers and said, "This bus is getting old. It doesn't go as well now as it went before. 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 hard as you can. That will make the bus start again. If it doesn't, I am 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 all leaned back against their seats and waited.

Then the driver took his place and asked, "Are you ready?" The passengers answered, "Yes." "One! Two! Three!" counted the driver. The passengers all leaned

forward suddenly - and the bus started up at a great speed. The passengers began to smile with relief. But their smiles turned

to surprise and then to laughter when the driver merrily cried, "April Fool!"

house which both of them really liked. But they could 323 not decide

whether they should take one of the ground-floor flats or one of the

upstairs ones. At last they decided on an upstairs one - not too low down and not

too high up - and moved in. After they had bought furniture, carpets and all other things they needed to set up the house, they gave a big party to celebrate their setting.

It was a merry and noisy party, as all the young man's friends from the band came and played their instruments. The guests danced, sang and practised on the drums. After a time the telephone rang. The young man's wife went into the hall to answer it. Then she came back with a happy smile on her face and said to her husband, "That was the man who has just moved into the flat that is under our flat. I am so glad we decided not to choose it. He says it is terribly noisy down there."
