In France and Italy, if someone plays a trick on you, you are the "fish of April". By the month of April fish have only just【B8】______ and are therefore easy to catch. Children stick paper fish to their friends’ backs and chocolate fish are found in the shops. Today, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on 1st April.
