Lucy smiles kindly. I’m remembering an old story — the story of the first Thanksgiving. “Long ago, in 1620, a group of people called the Pilgrims ________ (come) from England on a big ship named the Mayflower. After a long and dangerous trip, they ________ (arrive) in a place called Plymouth, in the New World. The winter ________ (be) very cold, and many Pilgrims were hungry and sick. But in the spring, they ________ (meet) the Wampanoag people, who ________ (help) them. A man named Squanto _________ (teach) them how to plant corn, catch fish, and grow food. When the first harvest came, the Pilgrims were so happy! They ________ (invite) the Wampanoag chief, Massasoit, and his people to share a big meal. They ________ (eat) turkey, corn, and pumpkin. They played games,________ (talk), and ________ (give) thanks for the food and friendship." Lucy nods proudly. That was the first Thanksgiving feast in America. People still celebrate it every year to remember kindness and sharing. Sammy’s eyes shine. Wow! Maybe Thanksgiving isn’t only about eating turkeys after all!
