London, 1620

No, we won't!

I'm the king and you'll do what I say!

We're Pilgrims and we want to pray in our church!

I am King James I of England and you must pray in my church!

It all started with a king...

What shall we do then?

We can't go to our church any more. The King will arrest or kill us. We're not safe.

So, the Pilgrims left England and went to America.

I'm afraid we should leave everything and go to the New World!

Yuk, there are worms in my plate!

We're so dirty and smelly!

Why can't we run and play?

The ship's crowded!

Hooray!

There's nothing but rain or snow!

I'm hungry!

If we don't get help soon, we'll all die!

It's so cold!

I miss my home!

We'll have to work harder!

Let's cut down the trees and build houses!

The first winter was very hard...

We'll show you how to hunt for deer!

We'll show you how to plant corn our way!

Thank you, friends!

Welcome, new friends, we're here to help you!

And where to find berries and nuts!

We put the fish when we plant the seed to make the soil richer.

Then, one day in spring, the Indians came...

Thanks to you, dear friends, we're not hungry any more!

Let's pray and eat now!

America, 1621
