April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of

That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game.I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem，but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦)．I broke my arm.
Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on.When he saw the problem，he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital.As that day was April Fool's Day，Mom_was_not_buying_it and really thought all this was a big joke.Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy's mom.When she saw me，she broke down in tears because she felt so bad—she originally (开始) 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 day.We both learned a valuable lesson.

A．She didn't believe what Jimmy's dad said.
B．She would not like to pay the money.
C．She had no preparation for the bad news.
D．She thought her son deserved (应受) it.
(B)49.Why did the writer mention the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”？
A．Because he thought it was his mom's fault.

◆Remember that you'll probably laugh about it in a few days，
9
so_try_to_see_the_funny_side_of_it.
