2. Участники исполняют песню “Over the river”.
Over the river, and through the woods,
To grandmother’s house we go;
The horse knows the way, to carry the sleigh,
Trough the white and drifted snow.
Over the river, and through the woods-
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes,
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
(Участники праздника рассаживаются.)
3. Выход “президента США” (ведущий одет в мантию и шапочку). Зачитывает ежегодную речь президента США.
The historic observance of a day of Thanksgiving at Plymouth, in 1621, was of many
occasions on which our ancestors paused to acknowledge their dependence on the mercy and
favor of Divine Providence. Today, on this Thanksgiving Day, likewise observed during a
season of celebration and harvest, we have added cause for rejoicing: the seeds of
democratic thought sown on these shores continue to take root around the world…
Now, there fore, I, G. Bush, president of the USA, do hereby call upon the American people
to observe Thursday, November 26, as a National day of Thanksgiving and to gather together
in homes and places of worship on that day of thanks to affirm by their prayers and their
gratitude the many blessings God has bestowed upon us.”
(Аплодисменты.)

Their ship was called the Mayflower. They landed at Plymouth Rock, in Massachusetts, on December 26, 1620.The first winter was a terrible time. There was much sickness and starvation.
