Do you know what the 1st Thanksgiving was like? Well, I'll tell you about it! This is the story. Once there was a group of people who didn't go to the church that the King, King James went to. He got very angry and put most of the people in prison. They escaped and late at night they got into a ship called the Mayflower. At first, the people went to the country Holland and got supplies such as, food, water, and medicine. Then they got back on the Mayflower and was planning to go to where Virginia is now but, a big storm blew them off course and damaged the ship! They fixed the ship up but were on the way to Plymouth not Virginia! When they got to Plymouth it was winter and most of the pilgrims died. But, there was a skillful Indian  named Squanto who knew how to speak English, plant corn, build houses and more! Squanto helped the pilgrims. at the end of the winter everyone picked crops, and hunt duck! The next day they had a feast to thank God for surviving the cold winter! and that is the first Thanksgiving!
