Weird adventures at the Everdream farm!
[h3]Dear Diary, Peter Curleytail the pig here![/h3]
Today something extraordinary happened. It has been a few weeks since I arrived at the farm and I must… oink oink… admit that some of the local customs are pretty peculiar!
So we went today to the local merchant that I like so much. He always gives me a treat when nobody looks… it’s really tasty… oink! Anyway, so we are going around with our usual business but then I noticed that in the camping of the merchant, there are a lot of hens sitting around with their eggs.
I rushed towards them to say hello. And they all screamed, “cluck cluck”. One started - “I am such a chick, oh wow, you probably never saw such a real chick before…hihih”. Why did she laugh? I wondered… They were all staring at me very excitedly. Another one said, “Yeeees, I love to sit on my egg, this is suuuuche a normal behaviour!”
I started to think that those chicks are very odd. But what can I know… I am a piggy, I
don’t know much about the chicken stuff.
Suddenly they all started to laugh very loud but. They didn’t sound like chicks at all! They all screamed “Prima Aprillis!” and took off their costumes. They were all ducks! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Why did ducks dress up as chicks?
I thought “Prima oink?!” … I mean… “Prima what?!”. On top of that, my friend rushed in and screamed “Happy Halloween!”. She was wearing a pumpkin on her head! “But… but… Halloween is in Autumn and we have April now” I mumbled.
Ohh I was certain I was losing my mind, maybe I shouldn’t have eaten that many berries this morning… Everybody was laughing. I rushed to the merchant to ask him what is going on. He explained that in the farm tradition, the 1st of April is April’s Fools Day. On that day everybody makes jokes and tries to make some funny pranks.
That was surprising! I mean, such an odd custom! But you know what, dear diary, I will make the greatest jokes on the farm next year! I will dress up as a lamb or say that I love carrots! Good that I have the whole year to think of something! Oink, oink!
Anyway, it’s getting late, I think I will take a nap now… I heard that we will have some cherries for dinner…
