In Italy, France, Belgium and Canada, children and adults traditionally stick paper fish on each other's back as a trick and shout "April fish!"In the UK, an April fool joke is revealed(揭示) by shouting "April fool!" at the recipient(接受者), who becomes the "April fool".
Traditionally, in some countries such as New Zealand, the UK, Australia, and South Africa, the jokes only last until noon. A person playing a joke after midday is the "April fool" themselves. But other countries, such as in France, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Russia, The Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Canada, and the U.S., the jokes last all day.
