Thanksgiving story
Thanksgiving story
1) A group of 102 people, called the Pilgrim Fathers, in
September 1620 sail from England on a ship called
“The Mayflower”. They land on the east coast of
America, in Massachusetts, on November 10th.
2) They call the land “New England”. Winter is very cold
and they haven’t food. The Indians help the Pilgrims to
build houses, to cultivate corn, potatoes, and pumpkins
and to hunt turkeys and deer.
3) After a good harvest, the Pilgrims thank the Indians.
They make a feast and invite the Indians. They eat
turkeys, corn, pumpkins, potatoes, and fish.
It is November 1621 and the feast lasts three days.
4)The Americans still celebrate this feast on Thanksgiving
Day, on the fourth Thursday in November with a big
Thanksgiving dinner and they eat roast turkey, potatoes,
cranberry jam and pumpkin pie.
