It was a long journey and when they arrived in America they were very ill. Many people died from sickness, starvation and freezing to death. There were some people living there, the Indians. The Indians decided to help them. They showed the English people how to hunt and fish, how to grow corn and potatoes and helped them to build houses. In 1621 they started to get corn, pumkings and animals like ducks; this was because the Indians helped them. So they decided to celebrate it to give thanks, not only for the harvest, but for their new home and friends. Today in countries like USA, people celebrate Thanksgiving the forth Thursday in November. They get together with the family and friends and they have a Thanksgiving dinner. They have turkey, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!
