Thanksgiving Day is a very special day for people in the United States. They celebrate it on the last Thursday in November. Canadians also celebrate Thanksgiving Day, but they do it on the second Monday of October. In Britain, where this festival is called “Harvest Festival”, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September.
A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the ground. In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn. In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God(上帝) on a special day of the year. They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had. People usually take small boxes of fruits, flowers, and vegetables to their churches to show their thanks.
The first thanksgiving service(仪式) in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 38 English people arrived in America to make their home in the new country. They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journey. The next year, many more English people arrived. They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good. They decided to celebrate it with a big meal. They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires. About 90 Indians also came to the meal. Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played games together. The festival lasted three days.
A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year. Then, in 1789, President George Washington named November 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day.
Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time.

Kate Holmes was visiting a friend, old Mrs Sydney．Mrs Sydney had known Kate all her life．She liked to tell Kate about mysteries and see whether Kate could solve them．
“You are very good at solving mysteries,” she said to Kate, “but some day I’ll fool you! maybe I’ll be able to fool you today．Did I ever tell you about the story of the unknown Brother?”
Kate said no and listened．She liked Mrs Sydney’s stories．
“Well,” Mrs Sydney said, “Jed Wright was my friend when I was a child．He ran away from home when he was very young and lived for years by doing all kinds of jobs．Finally, in 1927, he went to Michigan, where he found a copper mine(铜矿)．He bought the land and ran(经营)the mine and became a very rich man．”
“Jed never married．His parents had died years before, and his only relative was a brother．”
“One day Jed knew he was dying．He sent for a good friend, Dan Cole, who had worked for him for years．”
“Jed gave Dan two envelopes(信封)．‘This one is for you’, he said ‘and please give the other one to my brother Alf．He is…’While he was speaking, Jed died．”
There were his dying wishes in Dan’s envelope．It gave him Jed’s mine and house．The envelop for Alf had some money and business papers in it．Dan and Alf were each to get about half of Jed’s fortune(财富)．They would both be rich．
“Dan had never seen Alf．He had only two clues．One was an old photo that showed Alf and Jed．But it was taken on their tenth birthday, fifty years ago．The other clue was a post card from Alf．It had no address．It had been mailed in Boston the month before Jed died．”
“Dan went to Boston．He put an advertisement in the newspaper．It said there was good news for Alf Wright．It told where Dan was staying．”
“The next day, more than a hundred men came to Dan’s hotel．They all said they were Alf Wright．But though he had never seen Alf, Dan was able to pick him out right away．”
When Mrs Sydney finished her story, she smiled．
“All right, Kate,” she said．” How did he know Alf?”
Kate smiled too．” That’s easy,” She said．“You told me how．The clue was the photo．”
“Yes, it was,” said Mrs Sydney．“But it was taken when Alf and Jed were boys．How could that help?”
“You said it was taken when both boys were ten years old, so they were…”
