Then the Pilgrims went over to America in the boat called the Mayflower and the Speedwell but the Speedwell broke down so that all the Pilgrims and the people in Holland were so sorry to have them leave…they had a very hard time crossing the ocean. They landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620, 4 days before Christmas. They saw a few Indians they said they had better always keep their guns with them. ” The last page lists things to be thankful for: “We should be thankful for our homes and kind parents and our food, for our nice things to with, for clothes, for flowers and for being well.” Also includes report on Holland and a story about a girl named Gretchen.
