The story of Thanksgiving

Hi everybody!

The other day I was watching a video on YouTube and it talks about “The story of Thanksgiving”

“The story of Thanksgiving”

In 1620 British Pilgrim Fathers from Plymouth reached the USA. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean with a big sailing ship and arrived on the east coast. First the Pilgrim Fathers built wooden houses because they arrived in autumn nearly winter and searched for food, but they didn’t find a lot. The first winter in the new world was very cold and snowy and they had little to eat. In spring the Pilgrim Fathers try to growth something, so they dig holes, but they weren’t experienced farmers. So they Indians helped them out to growth food. They plant potatoes, corn and other vegetables. After a good harvest the invited the Indians and celebrated together the good harvest.

This is the story of Thanksgiving. I thought you might be interested too because Thanksgiving is a very important celebrating in the US and the UK.

Hope you like my new blog entry and enjoy your week.
