Adventurous Tales 😎
Exploration and Storytelling
There's an enchanting allure in the idea of travelling.
It's like a book with countless chapters, each destination unveiling new
tales of culture, history, and human spirit.
The beauty of travelling for me lies not only in the breathtaking
landscapes, but also in the rich tapestry of experiences and connections
that weave themselves into the fabric of who we are.
Just as the popular saying goes,
if travelling was free, I will be scarce!✈️
A Laughing Fool!😂
How it Started📍
April Fools' Day spread throughout Britain during the 18th century. In
Scotland, the tradition became a two-day event, starting with “hunting
the gowk,” in which people were sent on phony errands (gowk is a word
for cuckoo bird, a symbol for fool) and followed by Tailie Day, which
involved pranks played on people's derrieres, such as pinning fake tails
or “kick me” signs on them.
The Poem📖
The first certain reference to April Fools’ Day comes from a 1561
Flemish poem by Eduard De Dene, which you can read here. (But only if
your Renaissance Flemish is good!) In the poem, a nobleman sends his
servant on crazy, fruitless errands. The servant recognizes that he is
being sent on “fool’s errands” because it’s April 1.

...and a Sting Affair🐝
Most people hope to leave the supermarket with a bargain - but one
unlucky man in New Mexico found 15,000 bees in his car instead. The
shopper, who had left his window down while picking up groceries, did
not notice the swarm of honeybees until he started driving away. Luckily
for him, an off-duty firefighter was able to safely remove the insects.
