Thanksgiving Day
The fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. It is a holiday in the USA. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner.
Thanksgiving Day began in 1621. When the first English setlers (定居者) reached the New World, they did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm.
In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest. They were so happy. They thanked Indian friends for their help and thanked God.
