Thanksgiving Day{{/B}}
The American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to 1621. In that year,
a special dinner was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The people who had
settled there had left England because they were forbidden to keep their
religious belief. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in sailing
across the ocean. The ship which carried them was called "the Mayflower". The
North Atlantic was hard to travel. There were bad storms and huge waves. With
the help of the Indians, they learned to live in the new land. These Puritans,
as they were called, had much to be thankful for. They could enjoy religious
freedom. They learned how to grow their crops in accordance with the climate and
