Reading. April Fools' Joke

April Fools' Day

A few years ago there was a very unclear photograph of a man on the front page of The Guardian newspaper. The article said that it was the first picture ever taken and that it was at least seventy or more years older than any other photo in the world. Somebody in Japan discovered it hidden in a cave where it had been untouched for over two centuries. Apparently an unknown Japanese scientist had invented a special technique for making photographic negatives before anybody in Europe.

A special exhibition was arranged just for one day for the public to view it in London. The reason for that short viewing was because the negative was so old and couldn't be in the light for very long. When people went there, there was nothing to see.

The article was written on the first of April, which is April Fools' Day, the day when people play jokes on their friends.
