Recently in school we have been studying about the Pilgrims. And I happen to find their trip over here very interesting. Which means I find it hilarious. I don't find anything interesting unless its funny. Anyway.... For the past few days I have been working up a little skit in my head about these brave pioneers who helped colonize our country. Hope you enjoy it!
(Scene: The deck of the Mayflower)
Pilgrim Joe: Say pilgrim Sam, we have been on this tiny boat with hundreds of other people with no food or water for weeks. I think the captain is lost.
Pilgrim Sam: You may be right. We should overthrow the captain and take over the ship!
Pilgrim Joe: Sam. This is not "Pirates of the Caribbean," starring Johnny Depp. We are peaceful people looking for a place where we can freely practice praying to God. And also make slaves out of any locals we find.
Pilgrim Sam: I guess you're right.
Johnny Depp: Land Ho!
(Scene: Plymouth Rock.)
Pilgrim Joe: Hey Mr. Leader person. We've finally landed. But this area has poor soil, harsh weather, and winter is almost here.
Mr. Leader person: Perfect! Let's set up a little town and see if we survive!
Pilgrim Sam: Ok! And look. There is a native Indian!
Squanto: Hello. I just happen to know English and want to help you survive winter!
Pilgrim Joe: What the hell kind of name is Squanto?
(Scene: Spring at the village)
Pilgrim Sam: Well. Joe. You and me survived winter although more than half of the rest of us are dead or diseased.
Pilgrim Joe: Oh well. Sucks for them.
Pilgrim Sam: By the way Squanto. Thanks. Without you we all would be dead! So as our gift to you, we are going to take over North America and destroy your entire culture!
Squanto: Let's have a feast.
So there you have it. That's how we got the first Thanksgiving.
