Thanksgiving

0 00Let’s go back to the year 1620. A group of pilgrims 00 had just come over from England because they were punished for their strict religious beliefs 00 there. They thought 010200 would give them a chance to start a new life. They arrived in America on their ship, the Mayflower .00 Their first year in 010200 was really difficult. They couldn’t find food. Nearly half of the 102 people, who first came over, were dead by the next fall. But in 1621, things started to look better. They had a huge harvest with a ton of food. To celebrate 00, they held a huge feast 00and invited a group of Indians who had helped the Pilgrims get through that first difficult year. It was quite a party — three days of various birds, fish, fruit, and vegetables. That was the first Thanksgiving. 00 0-
