Pete is done, he's too tired to go sledding. Pete
2:24
misses his teacher. He misses the other cats in his class.

Speaker 2: This is his first time.
3:32
Speaker 1: Don't forget your sleeping bag, says Dad, or your hiking boots.
3:36
Mom says. The campsite is deep in the woods. Mom
3:40
and Dad set up the tent. Pete and Bob helped
3:43
collect sticks so they can make a fire. Later, Pete
3:47
and Bob go for a hike. Bob shows Pete the
3:50
footprints of different animals. Do you think we will see
3:53
anything cool? Ask Pete, Maybe, says Bob. Pete and his
3:58
dad go fishing. They must be very quiet and very
4:02
still to catch a fish. Fishing takes a long time.
4:05
They finally catch some fish. Mom builds a fire. She
4:10
cooks the fish for dinner. It tastes yummy. Next, Pete
4:14
toasts marshmallows. Pete makes moores with chocolate and Graham crackers.
4:19
It starts to get dark out. Bob tells Pete a
4:22
story about a scary, hairy giant. The giant lives in
4:26
the woods. His name is Bigfoot. Do you think Bigfoot
4:31
lives here?
4:32
Speaker 2: Asks Pete.
4:33
Speaker 1: No one has ever seen Bigfoot, says Bob. Don't let
4:37
Bob scare you, says Dad. Bigfoot is not real, Mom,
4:41
says Pete sighs with relief. But if he is real,
4:46
I bet he's friendly, says Dad. And likes moores too.
4:50
That's not scary, thinks Pete. Maybe he wants his smart
4:54
Pete leaves one for his hairy friend. Soon it's time
4:57
for bed likes out. Boy dad, says. Bob and Pete
5:02
share a tent. Pete gets into a sleeping bag. It
5:06
is cozy, but he cannot sleep. The wood seem extra
5:11
dark and all the sounds seem extra loud at night.
5:15
Pete hears a weird swishing sound. What is that, he asked, Bob.
5:20
That's just the wind, says Bob. Pete hears an odd
5:24
chirping noise.
5:25
Speaker 2: What is that?
5:27
Speaker 1: He asks out loud, Those are just the crickets. Pete
5:31
hears a strange shooting sound.
5:34
Speaker 2: What is that?
5:35
Speaker 1: He wonders, That's just an owl. Pete thinks of his
5:39
friend Owl. Pete, here's a loud snapping sound.
5:43
Speaker 2: Crack. What is that?
5:45
Speaker 1: He wonders, But Bob is already fast asleep. Pete listens carefully.
5:51
Speaker 2: Crack.
5:52
Speaker 1: Is it Bigfoot? Pete peeks outside. It is too dark
5:57
to see anything. When Pete wakes up, he checked the
6:00
spot where he left this moores for Bigfoot.
6:03
Speaker 2: This moore is gone.
6:05
Speaker 1: There is a note It says thanks for the treat
6:09
xes and O's. Pete shows his family. Wow, I knew
6:13
Bigfoot was real, says Bob. Pete knows Bigfoot is not scary,
6:19
just because he looks different does not mean he is scary.
6:22
Speaker 2: He even likes s'mores too.

sun is out. We play football, but we take a
18:01
time out to eat some pie too. Yum, I am
18:05
so thankful. What are you thankful for? Can you think
18:09
of three examples? Our next story is titled Twas the
18:14
Night before Thanksgiving, and it was published by Scholastic, originally
18:22
published in hardcover by Orchard Books, has a copyright year
18:26
of nineteen ninety two two thousand and four and the
18:33
author is Dave Pelke. Twas the night before Thanksgiving, and
18:39
all through the trees the follies were spinning aloft in
18:43
the breeze. Eight children had boarded their school bus with grins,
18:47
in hopes that a field trip soon would begin. They
18:50
sang as they wrote through autumn terranks, while visions of
18:54
drumsticks danced in their brains. Verse through the woods with
19:02
winding and weaves, their school bus sailed on through the
19:05
new fallen leaves. When out on the road they arose
19:09
such a clatter they threw down their windows to see
19:13
what was the matter. When what their wondering eyes should
19:18
they see that a miniature farm in ate tiny turkey,
19:22
and a little old man, so lively and rugged they
19:25
knew in a moment it was farmer mic Nuggets. He
19:28
was dressed all in denim from his head to his toe,
19:31
with a pinch of polyester and a dash of vel crow.
19:35
And then in a twinkling they heard in the straw
19:38
the prancing upon of each little claw more rapid than chickens,
19:42
his cockerels that came. He whistled and shouted, and he
19:46
called them by name, Now Ollie, now Stanley, now Larry,
19:50
and mow On, wally On, beaver On, Shemp, and grout show.
19:55
The turkeys were chunky, with smiley beaked faces, and they
19:58
greeted the children with downy embraces. So after the barnyard
20:04
they ran, and they flew, and they gobbled and giggles,
20:07
as friends sometimes do. Then somebody spotted and axe by
20:12
the door, and she asked, Farmer Nugget, what is that.
20:15
For the blink of his eye and a twist of
20:17
his head, the old farmer.
20:19
Speaker 2: Told a grim tale of dread.
20:22
Speaker 1: Tonight, said Mike Nugget, These feathery beasts will be chopped
20:27
up and roasted for Thanksgiving feast. The children stood still
20:30
as tears filled their eyes. Then they clamored aloud in
20:34
a chorus of cries. Oh dear, cried Mike Nugget. Now
20:39
what shall I do? So he dashed to the well,
20:42
and the teacher went to and they fetched some water
20:45
fresh from the ground, in hopes that a swig might calm.
20:49
Speaker 2: Every one down.
20:52
Speaker 1: And when they returned to quiet the manner, the children
20:55
were calmer and mysteriously fatter.
20:59
Speaker 2: The boys and the girls up their drinks in.
21:01
Speaker 1: The hay, then thanked old Macnugget and wattled away. They
21:07
limped the school bus, all huffing and puffing. It's not
21:10
easy to walk with hot turkey stuffing. And then as
21:14
the school bus drove off in the night, Mike Nugget
21:17
looked around, not a turkey in sight. Twas the night
21:22
before Thanksgiving, and the stars up above shone down on
21:25
the school bus, abounding with love. The very next evening,
21:30
eight families were blessed with eight fluffy Thanksgiving turkeys as guests.
21:35
They feasted on veggies with jelly and toast, and everyone
21:38
was thankful. The turkeys were most so Each one gave
21:43
thanks for love and for living, and they all had
21:46
a wonderful happy Thanksgiving. Our next book is titled Happy
21:53

Speaker 2: What is Thanksgiving?
22:11
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is a holiday when people gather to eat a
22:14
feast and enjoy one another's company. At first, Thanksgiving was
22:18
the harvest celebration, people celebrated how thankful they were that
22:22
they would have enough food to eat in the coming year. Today,
22:26
people remember all the good things in their lives, such
22:29
as food, homes, family, and friends on Thanksgiving. The date
22:33
of Thanksgiving changes from year to year, but it always
22:37
falls on the same day of the week. United States,

22:44
is the second Monday in October. It is a time
22:49
for family fun and feasting gathering for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is
22:54
a holiday that brings people together. Millions of people travel

23:02
or friends each year. The United States, the day before
23:05
Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days of the year
23:08
to travel. Airports are always very crowded around Thanksgiving, since
23:13
more than four and a half million people travel by
23:15
plane on that weekend. Many people spend Thanksgiving with their families.
23:20
People who have small families or families who live far
23:23
away often decide to celebrate with friends instead. Whom do
23:27
you celebrate Thanksgiving with? Wherever you celebrate Thanksgiving, you will
23:34
likely have a big feast. The chief dish at most
23:38

23:54
which hang over their necks. However, only wild turkeys are

able to fly. Everything Giving Americans eat more than five
24:02
hundred and thirty million pounds of turkey. Vegetarians often eat
24:07

turkeys are also called gobblers or tom turkeys. Tom turkeys
24:16
can push their tail feathers up into a fan. How
24:22
to make a pine cone turkey, Let's make one in
24:27
honor of Thanksgiving. First, start your pine cone turkey by
24:30
fine in pine cone. The bits coming out of a
24:33
pine cone are called scales. Next, look carefully at a
24:38
picture of one, or have one look for you, and
24:41
draw the head for the turkey. Make sure to add
24:44
a bill and a eye. Color the turkey's head. Next,
24:48
draw a fan shape. This will be a turkey's tail.
24:51
Draw in the shapes of the feathers, color in the tail,
24:54
and then lastly cut out the head and the tail.
24:57

Speaker 1: Turkey is just one of many foods people eat at Thanksgiving.
25:11
Lots of Thanksgiving foods are closely tied to turkey. For example,
25:17
stuffing is a mix of bread, vegetables, and seasoning that
25:21
is cooked inside the turkey. The juices that run out
25:24
of the turkey are used to make a topping called
25:26
gravy that is poured over the turkey. People also put
25:30
a topping called cranberry sauce on turkey. Cranberries are redberries
25:34
with a sharp taste. Many people in their Thanksgiving beast
25:37
with pumpkin pie. People also eat pies made with apples
25:41
or nuts called pecans. Vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and
25:46
green beans are part of most people's Thanksgiving feasts. Eating
25:54
a big meal is just one of many Thanksgiving traditions.
25:57
Watching football games on tea is a big part of
26:01
many Americans Thanksgiving Day. There are always two football games
26:04
on TV on Thanksgiving. A football team called the Detroit
26:08
Lions plays in one of the games, the Dallas Cowboys
26:11
playing the other. Parades are another Thanksgiving tradition. Many cities
26:16
and towns hot Thanksgiving parades. The largest Thanksgiving parade is
26:20
the Mazy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It is held every year
26:24
in New York City. The parade has marching bands, well
26:27
known seniors, floats, and giant balloons. Thanksgiving traditions have built
26:33
up over time, but the holiday dates back to sixteen
26:36
twenty one. In the fall of sixteen twenty one, a
26:40
group of English settlers held a feast with a group
26:42
of Wampanong Native Americans in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This feast is
26:48
often called the First Thanksgiving. The English settlers had arrived
26:52
in Massachusetts in November of sixteen twenty The winter that
26:56
father was cold. The settlers did not have enough food.
27:00
Any settlers died during the winter. The following year, the
27:03
Indians showed the settlers how to find and grow food.
27:06
That file, the settlers had a good harvest and celebrated
27:11
with a feast. Though the English settlers in the Native
27:16
Americans had a feast, it was different from a modern
27:18
Thanksgiving meal. For one thing, their harvest celebration lasted three days.
27:23
There were more than one hundred people at that feast.
27:26
The settlers' houses were small, so they set up tables
27:29
and ate in the street. No one knows if they
27:32
ate turkey at the feast. We do know that the
27:34
settlers and the Native Americans ate fish, duck, and venison
27:38
or deer meat. They also ate vegetables like corn, onions,
27:42
and squash. They ate most of the food with their
27:44
hands because they did not have forks. Thanksgiving traditions have
27:49
changed a lot since its beginning one hundreds of years ago. However,
27:53
people still use this holiday to think about all the
27:56
good things in their lives. Many people also think about
27:59
those who have been less fortunate than them. They collect
28:02
food to give to people who do not have enough
28:05
to eat. Some people work in a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving.
28:09
Soup kitchens are places where poor people can get a
28:12
free meal. This is just one way to honor this holiday.
