      (hombre) El 1 abril es el Día de los Inocentes, donde los amigos y vecinos se hacen bromas. A veces incluso los maestros les hacen bromas a sus alumnos. ¿Cómo se convirtió el 1 abril en un día de engaños y tonterías? En el mundo hay festivales de renovación antes que inicie la primavera, incluyen sus chistes y bromas. Los estadounidenses y europeos hacen bromas en el Día de los Inocentes. Los hindúes festejan el Holi, una celebración donde se lanzan entre ellos polvos de colores. Los persas participan del dorugh-e Sizdah la mentira del 13. Hacen bromas a sus amigos el treceavo día del año nuevo persa, que suele caer cerca del primero de abril. Incluso los antiguos romanos celebraban el inicio de la primavera, con bromas y mascaradas en la fiesta Hilaria. Eso es bastante bobería a nivel mundial.
