After 66 days, the Mayflower arrived at Cape Cod,
Massachusetts. It was winter and there was a lot of snow
so the Pilgrims stayed on the ship until spring. There
wasn’t much food and it was very cold. A lot of them
died. By spring only 53 passengers were still alive.
A Native American called Squanto from the Wampanoag
tribe helped the Pilgrims. He taught them to catch fish
and grow vegetables. He also showed them useful plants
which were medicines.
In the summer of 1621, the Pilgrims harvested the food
on their farms. In the autumn, the Pilgrims gave thanks
for the harvest and they invited Squanto and his tribe to
a meal. The Wampanoags brought a lot of food – turkey, Squanto
fish, beans and berries. Today people in the USA have
a holiday and a special meal every November on
Thanksgiving Day. And they remember the
