Guy Fawkes Night!

Hooray!! It's Guy Fawkes night tonight! Time to let off those sky rockets and wave those sparklers! Even though I am a terrible baby when it comes to fireworks, (Yes, I scream and hide behind people,) I am interested in Guy Fawkes because it is a celebration of a HISTORICAL EVENT. And also, I really like sparklers.

The History:

Four hundred years ago, this guy called Guy Fawkes and his mates attempted to blow up London's Houses of Parliment by placing gun powder barrels in the basement. They wanted to kill King James because he didn't like Catholics. The very idea!! Well, obviously, the plot was foiled and Guy Fawkes was killed. :(

In celebration of his survival, King James ordered that the people of England should have a great bonfire on the night on the 5th of November to celebrate him surviving. Now, most people have fireworks too. Yaay!!
