THANKSGIVING is one of the biggest festivals in the United States. In the beginning
,it was all about food.
In the 17th century, many European people moved to North America. Life was hard, and they often didn’t have enough to eat. Some say that the native people helped them find food. In 1621 they had a good harvest .People were very happy – so happy, in fact, that they wanted to show their thanks. They celebrated by eating turkey, a local bird that Europe didn’t have at the time. This way, Thanksgiving was born.
