Some people acted good naturedly

The theory of April Fool Day is
held by many to be a revival of the
Hindu celebration of a like character
which falls on the last day of March.
Others believe that it survives from
the Feast of All Fools, a Roman cele-
bration which was held every year
on February II. Both of these cele-
brations. the latter of which dates
from the Middle Ages, we're very
ludicrous, and all manner Of tricks
