Mr Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" he thought. So he got off bed, put on his dressing gown (浴袍) and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.
Mr Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. He picked it up. There were some words on it :"It is now after midnight (午夜), so it is April Fool's Day (愚人节). "
"Oh, it was the English boy next door!" Mr Lee exclaimed (惊叫) and almost smiled. He went to bed and fell asleep at once. The bell did not ring again.
