In America, we celebrate many holidays during the year.  I will tell you about three of my favorite holidays, when they occur, why they are important and how we celebrate them.  These three holidays are the Fourth of July, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

   On the Fourth of July, we celebrate the birthday of the United States.  This holiday is not only called the Fourth of July, but also Independence Day.  On July 4, 1776, the people of the American colonies declared their independence from England.  Many people, including George Washington, helped the early Americans gain their freedom and independence.  Today, Americans celebrate the Fourth of July in different ways.  Many families gather to enjoy a special meal outdoors in the warm weather.  Some families go to the beach to relax.  Some families watch sports such as baseball.  And all over America, people watch a beautiful show of fireworks. 

   Another one of my favourite holidays is Halloween.  We celebrate Halloween on the 31^st of October.  Children all over America love Halloween.  They dress up in costumes, looking like ghosts and witches.  They ask people for candy and other sweet things to eat.  They go to parties and try to scare one another.  Even adults love Halloween, because it is a time to dress in costume and pretend to be someone else.

   My third favourite holiday is Thanksgiving.  We celebrate Thanksgiving on the last Thursday in November.  Children do not go to school and adults do not go to work on this special day.  Early Americans celebrated Thanksgiving to express their thanks for the fall harvest.  Today, we celebrate Thanksgiving to take time to be thankful for all the wonderful things we have, such as family, food, good health and freedom.  On Thanksgiving, families gather and enjoy a special meal of turkey, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie.  In New York City, there is a special parade with music and dancing.  Many Americans watch the Thanksgiving parade on television to make the day special.  I have been to the parade and have enjoyed seeing how happy everyone is to celebrate this special day.

A. “There is no danger for us as yet,” said Mother Bird. “We may stay here one day more.”

“Mother”, they cried, “the farmer wants to cut the corn tomorrow. He wants to ask his brothers and sisters to help him.”

D. On the third day the farmer came to the field early in the morning and began to work alone.

E. Next morning the farmer and his son came to the cornfield. They waited and waited, but no neighbors came to help them, as they were busy with their own corn.

F. “Don’t be afraid,” said Mother Bird, “there is no dander for us as yet. We may stay here one day more.”

G. One day a farmer came to the field and looked at the corn. Then he said to his son: “I think it is time to cut this corn. Tomorrow I shall ask our neighbors to come and help me.”

H. And indeed the brothers and sisters of the farmer did not come to the field next day. They said they were very sorry, but they were busy with their own work.

I. The little birds heard his words and they went to their mother. “The farmer wants to ask the neighbors to cut the corn tomorrow. We are afraid that he will ruin our nest. Let us fly away from this field today.”

J. When Mother Bird saw the farmer, she said: “Now, it is time for us to fly away, because when somebody does the work himself, instead of asking other people to do it, that is when the work gets done.”

К. Next day the farmer came with his son to the cornfield again, looked at the corn and said: “It is really time to cut the corn. Now I shall ask my brothers and sisters to come and help me.

The Trojan Horse

Many, many years ago there was a war between the Greeks and the Trojans. The Greek ships sailed up to the city of Troy. When the Trojans saw the Greek ships, they closed the gates of their city and stayed behind the walls. The Greeks attacked the city many times, but could not take it. The Greeks made a big wooden horse, and the leaders of the Greek army hid inside the horse. In the morning the Greeks burned their camp and sailed away. Only the big wooden horse remained in front of the gates. But the Greek ships did not sail far. At first the Trojans wanted to burn the wooden horse, but a Greek prisoner said, “Don’t burn the horse. Bring it into Troy. It will help you.” They brought the wooden horse into the city.

The next day was a holiday in Troy. At night all the Trojan soldiers fell asleep. The Greek ships came back to Troy at the night. When everything was quiet, the leaders of the Greek soldiers came out of the wooden horse and opened the gates of the city. The Greek army was near Troy. The Greek soldiers came into the city, killed very many Trojans and took the city.
