   April Fool’s Day is a day for all of us to have some fan and play a few jokes on our friends or even on strangers. The story below will show what I mean. Enjoy it!

On April 1, all kids will have a safe place to surf the Web. Nations around the world have started a plan to make a new World Wide Web — just for kids! You can now surf safely without running into anything not proper for kids.

Beginning on April 1, all kids have to register (注册) with the World Wide Web for Kids(www4k). You will no longer be able to surf the “www”.

The World Wide Web for Kids, will only contain selected (挑选的) websites proper for kids under 13. A group of experts will review all content on it. All kids under 13 must surf this section of the World Wide Web — if kids under 13 are caught on the “regular” Web they may face serious fines.

All the nations can track (跟踪) all computers online and will be able to find if a child under 13 is surfing the wrong section of the Web. You will be kicked out of the regular “www” and sent to the new World Wide Web for Kids section. Your parents will then be told that you have been on the wrong Web.

All proper websites will now have to use “www4k”. For example, children’s familiar http://kidsturncentral.com will now be located at http://kidsturncentral.www4k.

Register now before you are told you are on the wrong Web! It’s free.
