Pre-reading:
感恩节（Thanksgiving Day）是美国和加拿大共有的节日，由美国人民独创，原意是为了感谢上天赐予的好收成、感谢印第安人的帮助。在美国，自1941年起，感恩节是在每年11月的第四个星期四，并从这一天起将休假两天。
1620年，英国一批主张改革的清教徒，因理想和抱负不能实现而退出国教，自立新教，此举激起了英国当政者的仇恨。他们不得不乘船远渡重洋，流亡美国。
船在大海中漂泊了65天，终于到达美国东海岸，在罗得岛州的普罗维斯敦港登陆。当时，此处还是一片荒凉未开垦的处女地，火鸡和其他野生动物随处可见。时值寒冬，来到陌生的地方，缺衣少食，恶劣的环境正在威胁着他们的生命。
在这生死攸关的时刻，当地的印第安人为他们送去了食物、生活用品和生产工具，帮助他们建立了新家园。为感谢在危难之时帮助、支援过他们的印第安人，同时也感谢上帝对他们的“恩赐”，他们将猎获的火鸡制成美味佳肴，盛情款待印第安人。感恩节吃火鸡的习俗便流传下来了。
