[Music] pete the cat the first thanksgiving by kimberly and james dean [Music] pete was nervous about being a pilgrim in his class's thanksgiving play the first thanksgiving just do your best his best friend callie said pete said he would try he was ready his momma even made him a pilgrim hat which was really cool happy thanksgiving [Music] pete took his place at the front of the giant ship that his class had made out of cardboard pete was a pilgrim on the mayflower in 1620 a group of pilgrims decided to leave england for the new world
to build a new life it was a long long trip on a big big ship all the pilgrims saying the sea was rough and very dangerous many pilgrims got very very sick the dream of a new start in a new world made the hard trip all worth it for more than two months the pilgrims sailed they wondered if they would ever get there after 65 days on the ship the new world finally came into view land ho pete cried all the pilgrims did a happy dance the pilgrims arrived in the new world at plymouth rock
in what is now massachusetts everyone had many chores to do like growing food finding water and building shelters the first winter in the new world was long and hard in the spring the pilgrims had to decide whether to give up and go back to england or keep trying the pilgrims had heard about the native americans and many worried that they would not be friendly pete had never met a cat he didn't like so he thought they would be kind [Music] pete was right he made a new friend in squanto squanto and the other native americans
showed the pilgrims how to grow crops like corns beans and squash by summer the pilgrims had learned how to farm the new land by full harvest the pilgrims had plenty of food to thank squanto and the other native americans the pilgrims invited them to share the harvest this celebration became known as the first thanksgiving pete was relieved when the play was over he had remembered all his lines wow i never thought about how hard it was back then said p you did great callie said later at thanksgiving dinner with his family pete said let's all
