A squirrel (松鼠) was nearly killed nine years ago. Now, she continues to visit the family that saved, raised and later sent her into the wild.
In October 2009, a four-week-old squirrel was almost killed by an owl (猫头鹰). Luckily a wildlife rescue (营救) group saved her and left her in the care of Brantley Harrison and her family in South Carolina. The Harrisons often look after wild animals and later send them back into the wild.
The Harrisons named the squirrel Bella. With three other squirrels, Bella stayed in Brantley’s care until spring. During her stay, Bella acted similarly to the other squirrels. In April 2010, the squirrels were sent back into the wild. Bella, however, wasn’t ready to leave her human family. Within days of being released (放生), she started visiting them, looking for treats. Brantley said that the other squirrels also came back over the first few days, but within a week they stopped coming by and began to avoid people.
“Bella usually sits at the front door, waiting for someone to notice her. She comes almost everyday,” said Brantley. Her husband John often brings Bella nuts as she is usually waiting by the door for him. Actually Bella has become one of the family.
For nine years, she continues to visit them. Brantley said, “If Bella can teach at least one person to care for all living things, no matter how big or how small, then we have done what we have set out to.”

During the first winter, many people died because they hadn’t got enough food to eat. In the spring of 1621, the Pilgrims became friends with the Native Americans. The Native Americans taught them how to plant crops and how to hunt. In 1621, the harvest(收获)was very good. The Pilgrims were very thankful. So they invited their Native American friends to a feast(盛宴). The feast lasted for three days. The main dishes included corns, pumpkins, fish and turkeys.
Today Thanksgiving is still a day to be thankful for family, friends and good food. Families gather around the table and enjoy a traditional dinner of roast turkey with sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie for dessert. On this day many Americans go to or watch on TV football matches.
