THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
Janus Trim
The English people went ov
er to the Dutch people.
The Dutch people were very
nice to the English people. They
Ifli Holland and went over to
England again.
The Pilgrims made up their
minds to leave England and go to
Holland. They knew they could
worship God as they pleased.
There were about one hund
rial people on board. Among th
em were twenty boys and eight
girls. There were Miles Stand
mh( Elder Brewster, Priscilla
Mullen and John Alden.
During that first winter
bread made of wheat, rye or ba
il.y was about all they had. Only
once in a while they killed deer
or a wild fowl.
I hey had har d times until
t he tali of 11)2 *. Then their ha.rv
est was so good tney had a feast
and invited all the Indians. That
was the first Thanksgiving
Frederick Seltenreich j
The Pilgrims left England be
cause they would not worship
as the king wanted them to. The
king killed many of the Pilgrims
because they did not believe as
he did. 1 he king was very cruel
and he chased them awry. They
didu t have any good boats soj
they could not come to America, I
so they weLt to Holland. They
stayed there for thirteen years.
Their children grew up with the
Dutch customs. Their lathers
and mothers did not like this so
they wanted to get away from!
the Dutch people. The D itch tr
eated them very nicely. The Pil
grims bought a small boat called |
the Mayflower. The boat was soj
.small that the wind blew it out;
I of its course
There wer e 101 people when !
j they left England and when they !
| landed there were 102. When th
j ey were coming a baby was born
land they named it Oceana becau
se it was born on the ocean. Mil
i es Standish, Rose Standish, John
I Alden, Priscilla Mullen and Elder
Brewster came over on the May
flower. Rose Standish died the
first winter.
The first winter many suffe1
red greatly from hunger. The ne
xt spring they planted what little |
they had. The next fall they just
got their seed back. That winter
they starved again, but the next
fall they had a good harvest. Then
they invited all of the Indians.
This was in the year 102:1. This
was the first Thanksgiving.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen
You yet will hear the worst,
For soon in barbershops, oh men
They’11 shout: ‘The Ladies First.”
Nell—“What is the difference
between an evening gown and a
bathing suit?"
Belle—k‘No material difference.
