WHY WE HAVE THANKSGIVING 69 



(The round moon is called the full moon. 

 The little boat is called the new moon. 

 Then there is the half moon. 

 Indeed, there are two half moons. 

 After the new moon comes the first half moon. 

 And after the full moon comes the last half 

 moon. 



Even the full moon is not as bright as the 

 sun. 



We say the golden sun. 

 But we say the silver moon.

English Massachusetts Pilgrims 

 harvest blessings 



Many years ago a hundred English people 

 came to settle in Massachusetts. 



They were called the Pilgrims. 



Perhaps you have heard of our Pilgrim 

 Fathers ? 



It was December when they reached this 

 country. 



Some rough log houses were built.
