華華：昨天不是愚人節嗎？我弟弟不知道從哪裡弄來了一些作弄人的糖果，騙我說要請我吃吃看，結果不但把嘴都染黑了，還害我過敏，整個腫起來，晚上我去醫院拿了藥，今天還比昨天好一點了。

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Hey? Huahua! What happened to your mouth?
Huahua: Don’t bring it up! It’s all because of my younger brother! It’s so infuriating!
Qingqing: What happened? It’s so swollen. Did you see a doctor?
Huahua: Wasn’t yesterday April Fools’ Day? My brother somehow got hold of some prank candies and tricked me into trying them, saying he wanted to treat me. As a result, not only did my mouth turn black, but it also caused an allergic reaction, swelling up. I went to the hospital last night and got some medicine. Today is a bit better than yesterday.
Qingqing: Oh! April Fools’ Day pranks are okay, but it’s not good if they go too far.
Huahua: The worst part is those who choose April Fools’ Day to confess their feelings. It’s unclear whether it’s true or false, and it’s super annoying.
Qingqing: Hahaha! Congratulations! Someone confessed to you! Even if it’s a prank, you should be happy.
Huahua: Come on! Do I really have no one interested in me? Remember that!

For many people in Taiwan, childhood memories of rural life include pig pens standing beside family homes. Leftover rice, vegetable scraps and soup from daily meals were poured into buckets and fed to pigs. This practice of feeding pigs with household food waste was once a common way of life, both an economic choice and an expression of agricultural society’s deep respect for conserving resources. From a practical standpoint, pigs are omnivorous animals capable of efficiently digesting food scraps that humans can no longer eat. For rural households, food waste cost almost nothing, yet it could be converted into pork, a
