    　　The fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. It is a holiday in the U. S. A. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion9（团聚）. Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays.

    　　Thanksgiving Day began in 1621, when the first English settlers（定居者）reached the New World. They did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm.

    　　In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest. They were so pleased. They decided to invite their Indian friends to dinner in order to thank them for their help and to God.

    　　As far as family reunion Thanksgiving Day is even more important than Christmas or New Year's Eve to most Americans.

    Daniel Boone was born in the United States in 1734. He came from a poor family that lived in a small village near a forest. His father didn't have enough money to send Daniel to school so he never learned to read. However, Daniel learned a lot of things from the stories he heard about the forest and the things around him. He was attracted to the simple and quiet life of the forest and preferred to live there instead of living on his father's farm.

    　　When Daniel grew up he tried to live on the farm but he wasn't happy there. After a year or so he decided to travel to the unexplored lands to the west. He learned and experienced many things during his travels. After two years he returned to his home and shared his knowledge and stories with the people, which made him famous for his travels.

    　　To help Maria most, your money is to put together with other helpers, so hardworking people can help themselves．Build a school or a hospital, make their farm better, bring in clean water…This is what Save the Children has been about since 1932．

    　　For you there are many returns．You can write letters to each other, get photos, or study reports．Know you are helping and saving another person in the same world as you．That's how Save the Children works．But without you, it can't work．Please take a moment to fill in this form to help a child like Maria and her village．
