The story of the first Thanksgiving
Around four hundred years ago many people in England were unhappy because their King would not let them pray toGod as they liked. The King said they must use the same prayers as HE did and if they refused they were persecuted,imprisoned or even killed.These Englishmen left their home and went faraway to a country called Holland. In Holland they were happy but they were very poor. Then when the children began to grow they became less godfearing and did not want to pray any more. After much talking and thinking these English people decided to embark on a pilgrimage to thenew world: AMERICA. They set outin a small ship called the Mayflower to take themacross the sea. There were about one hundred peopleon board the tinyship. It was crowded, cold and uncomfortable. The sea was rough. Theyspent two months sailingacrossthe Atlantic Ocean. At last the Mayflower came in sight of land.The month was November and it was cold. There was nothing to beseen but snow, rocks and hard bare ground. They were tired and cold from their long journey, and hungry too.No one had enough food to eat. Many of them became sick and by springtime almost half of the people haddied.
In spring the sun shone brightly, the snow melted and the leaves and flowers began to emerge. Some friendlyIndians had visited the Pilgrims during the winter. One of the kindly Indians was named Squanto. He stayed with thePilgrims and taught them how to plant their corn, peas, wheat and barley. The summer came and the days were longand bright. The pilgrim children were very happy in their new home onPlymouth Rock. When it was autumn the fathers gathered the barley, wheat and corn that they had planted and found that it hadgrown so well that they would have quite enough forthe long winter that was coming. Let us thank God for everything, they said. Then they decided to have abig thanksgiving party and invited thefriendly Indians. They prepared wild duck and geese and great wild turkeys. There was deer meat, bread and cakes.They had fish and clams from thesea nearby. The friendly Indians all came with their chief. They were dressed in deerskinsand some of them had wild-cat furskins hangingon their arms. Their long black hair fell loose on theirshoulders and was trimmed with feathers or fox tails.Before they ate the Pilgrims and the Indians thanked God together for all his goodness. And so the story goes of the first Thanksgiving celebrated inPlymouth colony nearly four hundred years ago.As you sit down with your friends and family this Thanksgiving remember this original tale and give thanks for allGod's abundant blessings..

Le 6 septembre 1620 un navire marchand, le Mayflower, quitte Plymouth àdestination de l'Amérique du Nord. Parmi les 102 personnes à bord se trouvent35 pélerins protestants très pieux qui fuient les persécutions de Jacques1er.Le Mayflower aborde les côtes du nouveau monde après deux mois d'unetraversée difficile. Le premier hiver est très dur, la moitié des colons décède.
Non loin d'eux se trouve un village indien dont le grand chef est Massasoit.Les immigrants et les indiens se mettent d'accord pour vivre en paix et s'entraider.L'un des indiensSquanto parle anglais. Il vit avec les immigrants et leur apprend àchasser et à planter le maïs.
A l'automne, après une récolte abondante, les immigrants organisent une fêteà laquelle sont invités le chef du village indien et ses guerriers.
