     This happened more than fifty years ago, in a little American town called Springfield. The newspaper “The Springfield Voice” had a very difficult life. The newspaper hadn’t enough money and could not pay its workers. But it had one difficulty that was even worse. Whenever some interesting news appeared in “The Springfield Voice”, the rest of the newspapers in the town at once published the same news as their own. At last “The Springfield Voice” decided to teach their enemies a lesson.                                                                                                                                    In the morning, April 1, “The Springfield Voice” published the news that a coffee king whose name was Lipra Loof had come from abroad and was going to visit Springfield. Of course, this was tremendous news in such a little town. That same afternoon all the other newspapers in the town wrote about Mr. Lirpa Loof. One of the newspapers published an interview with the rich businessman; another newspaper told its readers that Mr. Lirpa Loof had had a meeting with the businessmen of the town, who were planning to buy coffee from him.                                                                                            The next day, April 2, “The Springfield Voice” wrote: “Of course, we are proud that the other newspapers believed our story about the rich foreign businessman Lirpa Loof. But they must not forget what the date was yesterday. Read the first, then the second word – Lirpa Loof – from the end to the beginning and you will see why they must not forget that date.”
