In 1620, a group of people **sailed** from England to America. There **were** one hundred people on the ship. They **wanted** to start a new life in America and practise their religion in freedom. They **landed** at a place on the northeast coast of America. They **called** it Plymouth. They were far from their home, and life was hard. They **had** little food and they **knew** little about their new home. Their first winter in America was very cold. Many of them **died** ill and **got**. However, the Native Americans who **lived** there decided to help them. They **taught** the newcomers how to grow corn and other plants to eat, and they **gave** them medicine to treat their illnesses. They also showed their new friends how to hunt for food and how to build better houses. The newcomers **worked** hard and their crops **grew**. By November 1621 all of them **had** food and a home. To thank the Native Americans, the newcomers **invited** them to a special dinner to celebrate their friendship. This special dinner was the first Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving dinner **lasted** for three days.
