6. Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated predominantly in North America, and it possesses a different meaning in each of the countries where it's acknowledged. In the United States, Thanksgiving is a federal holiday (meaning all government employees and most private employees are given a day off of work), and always takes places on the Fourth Thursday in November, regardless of the date. The holiday signifies the immense progress made by pilgrims, or some of the first travelers to North America, at Plymouth Plantation circa 1621. It was at this time that the hungry and weary Pilgrims were taught (by Native Americans) how to grow and produce food on North America's unique terrain. Once they'd grown (and caught) an abundance of food, the Pilgrims were expectedly thankful, and they celebrated alongside the Native Americans who provided them with such valuable assistance. President Abraham Lincoln initiated the contemporary practice of Thanksgiving by calling for a "day of Thanksgiving" during one of his Civil War addresses. In America today, Thanksgiving remains firmly engrained in its historical roots, and is widely considered to be a day for giving thanks for good food, good times, and family. Thanksgiving dinner generally consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, gravy, and ample desserts. To be sure, indulging in abundance is a cornerstone of the holiday, as doing so could only be possible if one possesses abundance. Where is Thanksgiving celebrated?

Learning something new can be a scary experience. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do was
learning how to swim. I was always afraid of the water, but I decided that swimming was an important skill that I should learn. I also thought it would be good exercise and help me to become physically stronger. What I didn’t realize was that learning to swim would also make me a more confident person. New situations always make me a bit nervous, and my first swimming lesson was no exception. After I changed into my bathing suit in the locker room, I stood timidly by the side of the pool waiting for the teacher and other students to show up. After a couple of minutes the teacher came over. She smiled and introduced herself, and two more students joined us. Although they were both older than me, they didn’t seem to be embarrassed about not knowing how to swim. I began to feel more at ease.

Every day, a fisherman sat on a bridge. He threw the seeds into the water. He had a simple way to catch fish. He cut a branch off a tree and tied a plain string to it. He put a sharp hook on it. Then he whispered, "Come here fish." Like magic, the fish bit the hook. He took the fish home to make a big pot of fish soup from them. One day, another man walked up to him. He said, "My name is George. I am staying at the hotel. I bet that I am a better fisherman than you. I will accompany you today. I want to prove my skill." The fisherman cast his string. George had a lot of electronic tools. One machine showed him the locations of fish. The other machine could weigh the fish. At the end of the day, George subtracted his fish from the fisherman’s.

In the sixteenth century, almanacs began to be issued every year and included predictions of the weather.
At about the same time, almanacs included
calendars listing holidays. In the seventeenth century, almanacs included jokes. Benjamin Franklin continued this tradition with "Poor Richard’s Almanac", which was published in 1732-1758.
