Thanksgiving Day;The cause of Thanksgiving Day;;The First Thanksgiving;A long time ago in a country called England, there were a group of people who all went to the same church, they were called Puritans.;There was a king of England who thought everyone should go to his church. ;The pilgrims said, “Ok, we’ll go to jail.”;Finally the king realized that the Pilgrims weren’t going to change their minds so he said, “You can get out of jail, but you have to leave England.” ;The trip to America was long and hard. There were storms and the ship was really crowded. ;When they got to America, it was winter and there were no food or houses. Many of the pilgrims died from sickness, starvation and freezing to death. ;There were some people who lived in America already. We called them Indians. They saw the Pilgrims suffering and they decided to help them. ;They showed them how to hunt and fish. ;When it was winter again, the Pilgrims had food and a place to live. ;They were so happy, they said, “We need to have a feast and celebrate. We’ll invite our friends, the Indians.” ;So they had a great feast that lasted for a whole week, they ate turkey, fish, deer, sweet potatoes, corn and pumpkin. They played games. ;But the first thing they did was to say a prayer of Thanksgiving to God for giving them friends, food, houses and a place to live where they could go to any church they wanted. ;We still have Thanksgiving today;The food in Thanksgiving Day;The activity in Thanksgiving Day;;Coda;谢谢观赏
