The Story of the First Thanksgiving and Why We Have It
Once up on a time there were these bunch of people that
came across the ocean. It took them a couple of days. They were getting away
from someone and came here. After they got here it was a bad winter. They
didn't have no idea why they came but knew they couldn't live without friends. They
tried to make friends with the Indians. Not many of them liked them because they
dressed funny. One Indian helped them learn how to grow food like turkeys and
corn. He helped them plant them in the ground. After some of the Pilgrims
lived through through the cold winter they were glad. They invited some Indians to
come eat. They thought it would be one or two but a whole bunch came to eat and
they stayed forever. All the Indians scared the Pilgrims but finally they came out
to eat because they stayed a long time.
The end.

The Story of the First Thanksgiving and Why We Have It
The Pilgrims came across the water. I think it was a big lake or something.
After they got here they made friends with the Indians because there wasn't anyone else to
make friends with. One day they wanted to have a big dinner. They asked the Indians to
come too. A big bunch of them came. The Pilgrims had to fix a lot more
food. The Indians didn't know they know they they needed to go home right away.
The Pilgrims didn't want to make them mad so the Indians stayed a long time.
The Pilgrims went out and chased several turkeys and hams. They cooked corn and
beans too. For dessert they cooked a pumpkin in a pie. I don't know why I am
writing about the Pilgrims. I am from Mexico and don't think we have Thanksgiving
with Pilgrims or Indians. The only thing I don't like about Thanksgiving is we can't come
to school. I like school. Mostly I like recess and lunch.

The Pilgrims came over on the Plumflower. The came a long way on the ocean. I
think the ocean is a big piece of water. The left so they could get away from mean
people. The Indians became friends and they asked them to come eat. One or two
were suppose to come to eat but several more came with them. The Pilgrim mothers had
to go to the store and get more turkeys and corn. They cooked it and the Indians ate
it even though they didn't know what it was. We now have turkey every Thanksgiving
because the store was out of ham. I wished they had ham instead because I don't like
turkey or pumpkins.
The End
The First Thanksgiving
The Pilgrims first lived somewhere and came to the United States to live. They lived
a long time on a ship then built a house for all of them to live in. There were a
bunch of them but I don't know how many. Some of them were nice to the Indians. One
day the Indians came to dinner. There were too many Indians and not enough dinner.
Somebody had to cook more food. All they could find were some turkeys and
corn. Everybody was happy and that is why we still have Thanksgiving.
