Karen：As you know，today is the 1st of April or，as we call it，April Fool’s Day，and Mark’s here to tell us about three of the best practical jokes in history. Mark：Indeed. Let’s start with the oldest recorded April Fool’s joke，which took place on the 1st of April 1698. Some people were told to go to the Tower of London to watch “the washing of the lions”. Of course，there were no lions at the Tower of London. This was reported in a newsletter—similar to today’s newspapers—on the second of April that year. Apparently，this practical joke worked so well that it was played on visitors throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Karen：Well，I’d be pretty annoyed if someone did that to me. OK，let’s hear the next one. the washing of the lions 18th and 19th centuries Listen again and complete the notes. Karen：Well，I’d be pretty annoyed if someone did that to me.

Mark：Smellovision! This was a type of machine that allowed smells to be carried over the airwaves. During the interview， the BBC showed images of people actually smelling a TV screen!

On the 1st of April 1957，a news programme told viewers that the spaghetti trees in Switzerland were having a really good harvestThe programme even showed people picking spaghetti off trees and laying it in the sun to dry. Karen：That’s so funny! Mark：Many people fell for the joke because spaghetti wasn’t that common in England at the time.
