Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional American holiday. The first Thanksgiving Day was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of great hardship, the colonist(移民)wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a big feast(盛宴). Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks. But it wasn't a regular national holiday until Present Lincoln declared that the last Thursday in November would be there after Thanksgiving Day in 1863. It is a day of family reunion(团圆)and it is customary(风俗的)to invite friends to share the meal. In some large cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day.

For Americans, Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when the entire family gets together. Everyone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy exchange of greetings. The women soon disappear into the kitchen to help prepare the dinner. The men, meanwhile, settle down to watch a football game on television, or to discuss business or politics. If weather permits, some of the more athletic men go outside to play ball games with the children. Then everyone will sit down to dinner, in which traditional Thanksgiving foods such as stuffed turkey, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkin pies are served. After dinner, people will sit around and talk.

Koeler took special notice of the tall woman who was nicely dressed, but she was wearing ugly, thick-soled(厚底)shoes.

Now the woman was taken to a room for questioning. There it was found that the soles of the shoes were hollow(中空的). They were opened. Some diamonds fell out on the floor. Their total weight was 3377 carats(克拉).

The young woman broke down in tears. Then she told her story. For years she had dreamed of coming to live in America, she said. At last she had managed to get the papers she needed to come to the U. S. Then a strange man called on her. He said he would pay for her trip and give her one hundred dollars. All she had to do was to smuggle the diamonds past the U. S. Customs(海关). The man gave her the shoes and also brought her a plane ticket. Just before she got on the plane, he gave her an envelope. He said that it was the hundred dollars he had promised.

The weeping woman handed the envelope to Koeler. He tore it open. There was only eighteen dollars. She was cheated. In the end the woman was tried and sentenced to eighteen months in prison for her part in the smuggling.
