72 NOVEMBER 



In the evening they sang and danced. 

 They ran races and played games too. 

 They tried to see who could shoot farthest 

 They must have had a good time. 

 For they stayed three whole days. 

 And this happened nearly three hundred years 

 ago. 



ANOTHER THANKSGIVING.

The Pilgrims did not always have so much to 

 eat on Thanksgiving Day. 



But they always tried to be happy and thank- 

 ful on that day. 



One year they had nothing but some oysters 

 and a very little corn. 



They put the oysters and five grains cf corn 

 on each plate. 



And they were glad that they had even this 

 little food. 



That was their least happy Thanksgiving. 



So ever after they put five grains of corn at 

 each plate every Thanksgiving.
