Tonight
in some countries all around the world, there’s a very big and important
tradition: The Bonfire Night. A lot of British people, tonight, will make
bonfires to celebrate it. But… when did this special day start?
There
was a big conspiration to kill the protestant king of Great Britain, James I of England. And Guy Fawkes
was the boss of this plan. He wanted to kill the king because he was very bad,
but he was arrested and the king wasn’t killed. So, to celebrate this, every
fifth of November, they made big and spectacular bonfires to burn mini-Guys. I
mean, dolls that represented Fawkes. Everybody was obligated to do that and to
support the king, so the celebration wasn’t only in Great Britain, it extended
to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and some parts of America.
They
also make big meals, with typical food: caramel apples, jacket potatoes, and
the bonfire toffee (I’m sure that tastes very well).
If
you haven’t got nothing to do tonight, you can eat some bonfire toffee and
watch the famous film of “V for Vendetta” while you imagine yourself living
that big adventure.
Here
you have a video with the explication:
