When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad—she originally thought this was just a big prank(恶作剧).
I guess one could compare this to the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. Since I had pulled pranks before, it is no wonder that my mom didn’t believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that

Most people agree that trees look nice, but not everyone knows that trees can also help cities save money. A few years ago, the US Forest Service studied trees in Chicago. They found that just one tree can save a city hundreds of dollars over its lifetime.

Trees can save money by helping people save energy. Trees stop the summer sun shining on buildings. They also block(挡住) the winter wind. That helps people use less energy to make their homes or offices warm or cool. Saving energy is saving money.

But before the rainwater gets to the dirty sewers， trees can take some into themselves.With the help of trees, there is less water to clean.

April Fool's Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. It happens on April Ist every year and is a day when many people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other.
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 supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold

out. In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water, They said this water would help people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By the end of the day, more than 10, 000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.
Many April Fools jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool's Day. He asked her to marry him. The lady was so happy because she really wanted to get married. However, when she said yes, he replied, \"April Fool! \"That little joke didn't have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show.
One of the worlds most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than was canceled April. In that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and fear spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax, thousands of people had left their homes.
