THE HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING

A long time ago, the Pilgrims lived in England.

In 1620 the Pilgrims left for America. Their ship was the Mayflower. The trip took 66 days. The weather was rainy and cold. The Pilgrims landed in November.

Native Americans lived in forests near Plymouth. They came and helped the Pilgrims.

The Pilgrims worked hard. They planted seeds to grow food. They built houses and a church.

By November 1621 the Pilgrims had a lot of food. They were very happy and decided to have a Thanksgiving party. They invited the Native Americans.

Today Thanksgiving is a big festival in the USA and Canada to celebrate the harvest.
