Once upon a time, there was a dog named Rufus who loved to play pranks on his owner, Tom. One day, Tom came home from work and found Rufus sitting at the kitchen table, reading the newspaper.
Tom was shocked and asked Rufus, "How did you learn to read?"
Rufus replied, "Oh, I took an online course. I'm a very intelligent dog, you know."
Tom couldn't believe his ears. He went to get a camera to take a picture of Rufus reading the newspaper, but when he returned, Rufus was nowhere to be seen.
Tom searched the whole house and eventually found Rufus hiding in the closet with a big grin on his face.
"Ha! Gotcha!" Rufus barked, wagging his tail. "April Fools' Day, Tom!"
Tom couldn't help but laugh at Rufus's silly prank. He was grateful to have such a funny and clever dog in his life.
From that day forward, Tom always looked forward to April Fools' Day with Rufus by his side, ready to pull off another hilarious joke. And although Tom never fell for Rufus's tricks again, he always appreciated the laughter and joy that Rufus brought to his life.
