Can you briefly tell me the origin story of April Fools' Day?

One theory about the origin of April Fools' Day is that it dates back to 1582 in France. When France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day was moved from April 1st to January 1st. Some people who were slow to get the news or who resisted the change continued to celebrate New Year's on April 1st and were made fun of. So, they became the 'April Fools'.

There was this April Fools' Day at school. A group of students told the new teacher that there was a special tradition on this day where students got to teach the class. The teacher, being new, believed them. So, she let the students take over. They made a total mess of the class with funny, made - up lessons. In the end, when the teacher realized it was a prank, she couldn't help but laugh and praised the students' creativity.

The origin of April Fools' Day can be traced back to the calendar change in France. When the new calendar system was introduced, those who still adhered to the old way of celebrating New Year's on April 1st were made the butt of jokes. It was a way for the society to mark the transition and those who were 'left behind' in the calendar change became the fools for the day.

The story behind April Fools' Day is a bit murky. One theory is that it relates to the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. People who were slow to adapt were played tricks on. Another idea is that it has ancient roots in spring festivals and the idea of renewal and pranks as part of the celebration.
