6、anksgiving was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. In 17th century, a group of pilgrims left England to explore the New World. It was in September of 1620 when their ship called the “Mayflower” left port with 102 men, women, and children on board. They landed in Provincetown Harbor after 65 day
7、s at sea.,B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 3,The pilgrims were poorly equipped to cope with life in the wilderness. During their first winter in the new land, they suffered tremendously. Poor food, hard work, infectious diseases, and bitter cold weather killed about half of them. By th
8、e end of this terrible first winter, only about 50 remained alive.One spring morning in 1621, an Indian walked into the little village of Plymouth and introduced himself in a friendly way. Later, he brought the Indian chief, Massasoit, who gave gifts to the people and offered assistance. The Indians
9、 of Massasoits tribe taught the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish and grow food. They taught the pilgrims to use fish for fertilizer in planting corn, pumpkins, and beans.,B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 4,Because of this help from the Indians, the Pilgrims had a good harvest. Following an a
10、ncient tradition, Governor William Bradford, in the fall of 1621, issued a proclamation establishing a day of thanksgiving to God. The governor also decided to use this religious occasion to strengthen the bond of friendship between the pilgrims and their Indian neighbors. So he invited Chief Massas
11、oit and his brave Indians to share the Thanksgiving feast.The Indians gladly accepted the invitation and sent five deer ahead. The pilgrim men went hunting and returned with turkey and other wild game. The women prepared delicious dishes from corn, cranberries, squash and pumpkins.,B R _Voyage on Ma

I made my way out there, breathing in great, deep dra
42、ughts while walking slowly about, still wearing my white cooks hat.,Well, as any cook knows, its a lot of hard work to cook and serve a big meal, and clean up and put everything away. But finally, around sundown, we finished at last.,D R _ Text 2,D R _ Text 3,I got to thinking about Thanksgiving, of
43、 the Pilgrims, Indians, wild turkeys, pumpkins, corn on the cob, and the rest.Yet my mind seemed to be in quest of something else some way that I could personally apply to the close of Thanksgiving.,It must have taken me a half hour to sense that maybe some key to an answer could result from reversi
44、ng the word “Thanksgiving” at least that suggested a verbal direction, “Giving thanks.”,Giving thanks as in praying, thanking God, I thought. Yes, of course. Certainly.Yet my mind continued turning the idea over.After a while, like a dawns brightening, a further answer did come that there were peopl
45、e to thank, people who had done so much for me that I could never possibly repay them. The embarrassing truth was Id always just accepted what theyd done, taken all of it for granted. Not one time had I ever bothered to express to any of them so much as a simple, sincere “Thank you”.,D R _ Text 4,At
46、 least seven people had been particularly and lastingly helpful to me. I realized, swallowing hard, that about half of them had since died so they were forever beyond any possible expression of gratitude from me. The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I became. Then I pictured the three who w
47、ere still alive and, within minutes, I was down in my cabin.,D R _ Text 5,Sitting at a table with writing paper and memories of things each had done, I tried composing genuine statements of heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to my dad, Simon A. Haley, a professor at the old Agricultural Mechanical
48、 Normal College in Pine Bluff, Arkansas; to my grandma, Cynthia Palmer, back in our little hometown of Henning, Tennessee; and to the Rev. Lonual Nelson, my grammar school principal, retired and living in Ripley, six miles north of Henning.,D R _ Text 6,The texts of my letters began something like,
49、“Here, this Thanksgiving at sea, I find my thoughts upon how much you have done for me, but I have never stopped and said to you how much I feel the need to thank you ” And briefly I recalled for each of them specific acts performed on my behalf.,D R _ Text 7,For instance, something uppermost about
50、my father was how he had impressed upon me from boyhood to love books and reading. In fact, this graduated into a family habit of after-dinner quizzes at the table about books read most,D R _ Text 8,recently and new words learned. My love of books never diminished and later led me toward writing books myself. So many times I have felt a sadness when exposed to modern children so immersed in the electronic media that they have little or no awareness of the marvelous world to be discovered in books.,
