In 1620 a small sailboat named the Mayflower left England for the New World. The Mayflower headed for the Jamestown colony. Its one hundred passengers were the Pilgrims. They were looking for a place where they could worship God in their own way.
Because of strong winds and severe storms, the Mayflower lost its course. The brave colonists finally had to land at Plymouth on the coast of Massachusetts in December 1620. It was the middle of the winter. Terrible months of starvation disease, and death were ahead of them; only the strongest of the Pilgrims survived that winter. Many women gave their own pitiful food to their children and died for lack of food themselves.
Conditions began to improve in the spring of 1621. There were wild vegetables, berries and fruit. Fish and game(猎物)were plentiful. Therefore they were able to get enough meat despite their lack of skill or experience in hunting and fishing. Their health improved with warm weather and better diet.
In the fall they looked back over the past years. They were both regretful and thankful. Only the original passengers remained. The price in human lives had been great. On the other hand, they saw new hope for the future. A splendid harvest was behind them. They were ready for the second winter with confidence. They had eleven houses for protection against the severe winter. Best of all, they had established friendship with their Indian neighbors. Their woods and forests became safe.
At the end of their first year in their new home, they wanted to celebrate with a real holiday. Governor Bradford decided on December 13, 1621 as the day for giving thanks to God. On that first Thanksgiving Day, after they had their religious ceremony, a great feast and three days of celebration began. Indians were also invited to join them. They had wild turkey geese and ducks. The Indians brought deer meat, and many kinds of vegetables especially pumpkins. Today pumpkins are both food and decoration for the Thanksgiving table.
During the three days of celebration, a small group of women worked very hard; and the men took part in various contests and games. On the whole, it was a wonderful holiday for the Pilgrims after their winter of starvation and tragedy.
From the passage we learn that______.
