Annie had a feeling the tree house might be back. Jack trusted her feelings. They ran into the Frog Creek woods and climbed into there.


The proof that they found the magic of the theater and the magic of animals from their trips was still there. And a piece of paper which Morgan sent them a new rhyme, was sticking out of a book which she left them, tilted "A Feast to Remember." The rhyme to guide this trip was "To find a special magic, When work and toil are done, Gather all together, Turn three worlds into one."




In the tree house, they landed in the time of the Mayflower Pilgrims in autumn. Six years before, Captain John Smith had explored the coast, and he had named the bay Plymouth. That was where the first Thanksgiving was. Jack and Annie were going to meet the real Squanto, Priscilla, Governor Bradford and Miles Standish, who they had put on a play in their class about the first Thanksgiving in.


Jack and Annie crunched over to a tree at the edge of the woods. Then a dog barked again and again, then Pilgrims appeared and looked in the direction of the barking dog. Just then Jack had to stepped into a hunting trap and he was jerked up into the air.


Two men of them cut the rope with a knife and lowered jack to the ground. About forty or fifty Pilgrims stared at him and Annie. One person, though, looked different from everyone else in the crowd. He was Squanto who was the Wampanoag Indian who helped out the Pilgrims.


Captain Standish asked them that who they are and where they live. Jack said that they live in a village up north and their parents sent them here to learn how to grow corn. Now that he had started making up a story, he couldn't back out. Jack added that they sailed to America with Captain John Smith, when he was exploring the coast. Captain Standish asked Spuanto that he remember two babes named Jack and Annie. Squanto looked carefully at their faces. Jack held his breath and his heart pounded. In surprisingly, Squanto said he remembers them. Why he said that, Jack wondered.


Then Chief Massasoit was there with ninety men, because Pilgrims invited them to the harvest feast. But Pilgrims did not expect so many, so they all looked worried. They had to bring more food to the table.


The Wampanoag men were going to hunt more deer. The grown-ups went back to the village as the Pilgrim kids gathered around Priscilla. She told some to carry water or set up tables, and others to gather vegetables or hunt small animals. Jack and Annie said that they could catch fish.


Clutching the big basket, Jack and Annie started running toward the bay. As an eel slithered through the water, Jack grabbed it with both hands. It twisted and squirmed, and wiggled out of Jack's hands and fell against Annie. With screams, they both tumbled into the cold water.


And they tried to catch clams, but they gave up, because quahog clams can live for sixty years or more. They couldn't just end their lives. They opened the book to know what other things Pilgrim kids do to help. The book said that Pilgrim children worked very hard, did everything they were told such as built fences, cared for animals, planted, harvested, and ground corn, guarded the fields, fished and hunted, but never complained about being tired even Jack felt tired just reading that. Their basket was empty.


That was when Priscilla was looking for them who were soaking wet. She suggested them to come to her house and warm up by the fire. Helping to take corn and squash and Pumpkin, they followed her to the house.


Several pots hung over the fire. Near the pots, a turkey was roasting on an iron rod. While they were drying, they stirred a thick, bubbly pudding with a wooden spoon. Also they moved vegetables close to the ashes and stir herbs into the seafood chowder.


Soon Priscilla stepped back into the room, and told about their terrible last winter when they were cold and hungry and half their people died even her all family as well. At that time, Squanto taught Pilgrims a lot, finally he saved their lives. As her eyes were bright with tears, Annie put her arm around Priscilla and Jack comforted her in warm words. But now, God be praised, Pilgrims had had a good harvest, and they had peace with their neighbors.


It was time to serve the feast. When Priscilla helped with the bread, Jack and Annie would take the turkey off the spit, put it on a platter, and bring it to a table. Jack reached out and wrapped his fingers around the handle of the iron spit, but the handle was super hot. He yanked his hand away and knocked the spit off its legs, and the turkey fell into the fire. The turkey was completely black.


Annie hurried out and took priscilla, and Jack confessed it. Jack was unhappily because he knew the Pilgrims had worked so hard to get their food. Priscilla led Jack and Annie out and show in the other houses, there was cooking also. Jack was relieved to see all the food. Jack did not ruin anything.


Before they started to eat, Governor Bradford stood up to speak and looked at Jack and Annie. He said, "Welcome to our feast. At this moment, three worlds-your world, our world, and the world of the Wampanoag-are not three. They are one. 'Tis the magic of community." Jack and Annie did it which they found the special magic, the magic of community. They could go home now, but had to eat first.


Slowly the feast come to an end. It was time to go home. As Squanto walked Jack and Annie back to the forest, he taught them how to grow corn and gave a small pouch inside corn seeds. Annie asked him that why he said that he remembered them. Long ago, he was taken to Europe as a slave, he felt different and afraid. He had seen the same fear in their eyes today. So he tried to help them. "And now you must always be kind to those who feel different and afraid, said Squanto.




Jack and Annie came back to the their woods. As always, no time at all had passed in Frog Creek. They placed the pouch of corn seeds on the floor next to the scrolls and the twig.
