When I was a kid, the very thing that aroused my interest about New Year¡¯s Eve was trying to stay wake until midnight. My parents didn¡¯t force me to go to bed early. Thus, I usually fall asleep before the New Year arrived. It wasn¡¯t until my 10th birthday when I reached the finish line and was able to cheer with the rest of the family. I woke up happily next morning. When asking if I wanted to make a New Year¡¯s wish, I said I would try to fight less with my brother. Unfortunately, the wish was lasted only until dinnertime. The reason is that my brother and me got into an argument about whom would set the table.

From gobbling(ÀÇÍÌ»¢ÑÊ£© down turkey to spending time with family to watching football, Thanksgiving is filled with traditions. But one of the most popular-pulling the wishbone¡ªdates back centuries.

The upside-down VT shaped bone is actually called the furcula. It is a bone located between a turkey¡¯s neck and its breast Furcula means ¡°little fork¡± in Latin. All birds have a wishbone.

At Thanksgiving, the tradition is for two people to hold one end of the bone, make a wish£¬and then tug(ÓÃÁ¦À­). The winner is the person who ends up with the bigger piece. If you believe the legend, the winner's wish will come true.

The practice of making a wish on a bird¡¯s furcula dates back to the ancient Etruscans, a people who lived in what is today northern Italy. They believed birds were powerful and divine (·Ç·²µÄ) creatures. After killing a chicken, an Etruscan would leave the wishbone in the sun to dry. Passersby would pick it up, stroke it for good luck£¬ and make a wish ¡ª That is how the furcula got the name ¡°wishbone.¡±

The Etruscans passed the ritua (ÒÇʽ£©along to the Romans. Soon, the practice of making a wish on a chicken's furcula became popular in ancient Rome. According to legend£¬it was so widespread that there weren't enough chickens or wishbones to go around. So the Romans began breaking the wishbone in two. Now, twice as many people could make wishes.

Then the English picked up the tradition. In the 16th century, English settlers brought the practice to the New World there, they found an abundance of wild turkeys. So they started using a turkey furcula for their wishes. Today a wishbone tug-of-war is as much a part of Thanksgiving as is gobbling down turkey.
