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.
He got mad when the
pilgrims didnt want
to go to his church,
he said, You go to
my church or you go
to jail!

The pilgrims said, Ok, well go to jail.

Finally the king realized that

the Pilgrims werent going to
change their minds so he said,
You can get out of jail, but you
have to leave England.

So the pilgrims set sail for

America on a ship called
the Mayflower.

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.
They showed them how to grow
corn and pumpkins.

They helped them build houses out

of the trees there.

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. Well 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.

We still have Thanksgiving today.
