  • Hello, boys and girls.

  • Let's talk about Thanksgiving, which is a very important holiday in America.

  • On this day, we watch parades, decorate our houses, and have a big family dinner.

  • But do you know where this holiday came from?

  • Let's learn more about the first Thanksgiving day.

  • Many years ago, in 1620, a group of brave Englishmen got off their ship in America.

  • They were called Pilgrims.

  • It was a tough, cold winter, and they did not have enough food.

  • Many people got very sick.

  • When the spring came, the Pilgrims had to learn how to feed themselves.

  • Native Americans showed them how to grow plants, such as corn.

  • Native Americans were the people who had long lived in America.

  • They knew how to survive and grow food on this land.

  • In the fall, the Pilgrims gathered a big harvest.

  • This means that they had plenty of food to eat.

  • They decided to have a fancy dinner.

  • Their Native American neighbors were invited to the celebration.

  • The Pilgrims were thankful that they had settled in a new place and started a new life.

  • Since then, Americans come together on Thanksgiving to celebrate the things that they are thankful for.

  • Family, food, shelter, and good health are just a few things that many people give thanks for this day.
