The origin of thanksgiving
Characters Story-teller, Pilgrims, Indians.
Story-teller: on September 16?1620 the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth Rock, in Massachusetts, on December 26, 1620
Pilgrim Oh, I see a land! Look! Land!
All Pilgrims Land! Hurrah! Land!
Pilgrim Look! There are people there. They welcome us.
The Indian leader: welcome to our land! Who are you? Where are you from?
1 Pilgrim: we are Pilgrims. We are from England. We have come for new lives. And who are you?
The Indian leader : we are Indians. We have been living here for a long time. You may stay here and live on our land.
All Pilgrims: thank you very much
Story-teller: the first winter was a terrible time. The pilgrims were hungry, sick and cold. Many people died. Then the Native Americans, the Indians, helped the pilgrims.
1 Pilgrim: we have nothing to eat. Many people have died and many are sick. What shall we do? (Появляются индейцы с корзинами еды)
1 Indian: Hello! We have brought food to you: bread, vegetables, fruit, corn and other things
3 Pilgrim oh! Thank you very much! You have saved our lives! We’ll never forget you!
Story-teller: spring came. Indians taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to build houses, to hunt, to fish. In other words - how to survive in America. (Индейцы показывают пилигримам как выращивать кукурузу строить дома ловить рыбу охотиться)
2 Indian we’ll teach you how to plant corn, build houses, hunt and fish. Our land is very rich.
4 Pilgrim: thanks! We’ll pray for you! We’ll be good pupils.
Story-teller: the crops did well, and in the fall of 1621 the Pilgrims had a great harvest. They were very thankful and decided to celebrate with a feast. The pilgrims invited the Indian friends to share this thanksgiving feast.
2 Pilgrim: welcome to our thanksgiving feast! We are grateful to you for many things.
4 Pilgrim: but the main is you helped us when we suffered greatly. And we’ll never forget those days! (индейцы и пилигримы садятся за праздничный стол. на столе индейка, клюква, фрукты, кукуруза, пирог и тд)
The Indian leader: ставьте на столы обильное угощенье и собирайтесь на праздник. Поднимем бокалы за стойких пилигримов, чье мужество никогда не иссякнет.
Pilgrim: thanks a lot! Now let’s have fun! Let’s recite poems and sing songs.

BE THANKFUL
Be thankful for home
Be thankful for food
Be thankful for birds that fly
Be thankful for sleep
Be thankful for flowers
Be thankful for clouds in the sky.
Be thankful for friends
Be thankful for rain
And the rainbows that follow close by.
