A Pilgrim child saw a naked figure watching their village from the trees. Some became afraid.
Finally, as the Pilgrims worked near the edge of a clearing, a native man stepped calmly out of the woods and strolled easily towards them wearing nothing but a loincloth.
What shocked them most was when he called out to them…in perfect English!
The man’s name was SQUANTO. And his miraculous story was so impossible at first no one believed it.
As well, Squanto had every right to hate these English Pilgrims. He could have left them to die, for he could see as he watched them that they didn’t know what they were doing.
But Squanto took pity on them and made a monumental decision, one that would change the course of history. He chose to help them.
And what happened next would not only save these struggling people, but more so provide a monumental miracle we celebrate today.
It’s called Thanksgiving.
