turkeys thought, they’d run away
a
week before Thanksgiving Day.
But
turkeys can’t anticipate,
and

2. Read the text “Mayflower” with these words. Try to
remember sentences with them.
If you go to New
Plymouth, a small town in the United States of America, you will see there a
rock which reaches the sea. Many thousands of people from different parts of
the United States and from many other countries in the world come to this
small town and they always go to see the Rock. They take off their hats,
stand there and think about the brave men and women who, more than three
hundred years ago, were standing on this Rock and looking at the country
where they had come to begin a new life.
They had built a
small village there, and American people say that out of this small village
grew a big country – the United States of America.
It was in 1620,
in the time of King James the First. English people did not like their king
and they called him “The Foolish King of England”. Many of them even left
England and went to live in the other countries.
In November,
1620, a small ship, the Mayflower, left England. There were about one hundred
people aboard of the ship, but even for this hundred the ship was too small.
For seven long weeks the Mayflower was in the waves and storms of the
Atlantic Ocean, and at last the people saw land. It was America.
It was already
autumn. It was raining and a cold wind was blowing. Sixteen men left the
Mayflower and went ashore. In the evening they came back to the ship and
brought some maize with them. They found the maize in the sand on the beach
where the Indians had left it. Nobody in Europe had seen maize then, but when
the people on board of the Mayflower tried it they liked it very much.
Next day was
Sunday and everybody on the Mayflower had a rest. On Monday some men went
ashore again and this time they took some women with them. The women had to
wash the clothes. Since that time Monday has been a wash-day in America.
During the next
five weeks the men from the Mayflower left the ship every day. Sometimes they
did not come back for many days; they were looking for a good place to live.
The weather was very cold, more and more men fell ill, but at last they found
a good place. There was a good harbor for ships there, some fields and
forests near it and even a small river. The people began to build a village
there.
By January,
1621, there were already two streets in this village, and they called it “New
Plymouth”. It was winter now. The people were tired and cold. They did not
have enough to eat. More and more of them fell ill. There was a time when
only seven men were quite well. Many people died. Sometimes two or three died
in a day. When the houses were ready, the life of the people became easier;
they had warm houses where they could live.
One day the
people of the village suddenly saw a tall Indian who was walking along the
street. They were frightened very much, but this Indian came up to them,
smiled and said. “Hallo, Yankee! Hallo, Yankee”!
This Indian
could speak English a little. He had learnt the language from the sailors of
the ship which had come to this part of America a few years before. He called
all Englishmen “Yankee”, because he could not say the world “Englishmen”.
A few days later
this Indian came to the village again together with some other Indians. They
came as friends and helped the white men very much. But white men forgot
about this help very quickly; a few years later when many people from Europe
came to America, they began to take the land away from the Indians and to
kill them.
All the Indians
who came to the village of New Plymouth called the Englishmen “Yankee”, and
since that time “Yankee” has been the name of a white man in America.
At last spring
came. The people of New Plymouth began to plant corn, and the Indians showed
them how to plant maize. In autumn the crops were very good and the people of
New Plymouth wanted to make a holiday dinner. They asked the Indians to this
dinner, and the Indians brought some wild turkey as a present. The turkey was
an America bird. Very few people in Europe had ever heard about it, but when
they ate it at this dinner they liked it very much. The people of New
Plymouth called their holiday “Thanksgiving Day”. Since that time
Thanksgiving Day has been a great holiday in the United States of America,
and since that day Americans have always had turkey for the Thanksgiving Day.
