Today I'd like to introduce you all to the BONFIRE NIGHT.
It is a magical night all over the UK. What's going on?
Well, let's go back in time: 400 years ago, a man called Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in order to kill King James I. But he was caught and executed.
Nowadays, people celebrate this date by bonfires, torchlit processions and fireworks. Such an incredible night.
A penny for the guy, anyone???
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
