I was the only one there.
After an hour, the other kids showed up,
and I realized that my brother had fooled me.
He had? Uh-huh.
He had changed the clock to an hour earlier.
What happened to you on April Fool's Day, Joe?
Well, I was sick last April first.
My friend called me and told me

announced that aliens from Mars had landed on the Earth.

and told how they were moving
across the United States.
Welles was so convincing

and panic set off across the whole country.
By the time the authorities revealed

thousands of people had fled from their homes.
One April Fool's Day,
a reporter in England announced,
that there would be no more spaghetti
because the spaghetti farmers in Italy
had stopped growing spaghetti.
Many people ran to their local supermarket
to buy as much spaghetti as they could.

that the story was a hoax,
all of the spaghetti across the country
had been sold out.
