The origins of April Fools' Days are uncertain and myste-

-rious.The most popular theory is that France changed its

calendar in 1500s so that the New Year would begin in Ja-

-nuary to match the Roman Calendar instead of beginning

at the start of spring,in late March or early April.

 

 

However,this word of change,traveled slowly,and many

people who lived in the rural areas continued to celebra-

-te the New Year in the spring. Then these countryside

people became known as  "April Fools".
