April Elephants

Today is April Fool's Day.

I recall the first April Fool's joke played on me when I was about 8. It was by my sister, Wei.

We were in the garden, at my grandfather's house. There was some sort of party going on. The sky was dark, but the garden was brightly lit with fairy lights.

"Look behind you! An elephant!", exclaimed Wei, pointing behind me.

"Where? Where?" I asked, frantically searching around.

"Hahaha... April Fool!"

"Huh? April what?" I asked, confused and still wondering where the elephant was.
