TEACHER That’s right! And since the Mayflower was too big to go right to shore, the Pilgrims had to row to land in a smaller boat. And as they approached the shore, the rock was here to greet them and help them take their first step in their new home. STUDENT 10 Didn’t it hurt when the Pilgrims stepped on you? PLYMOUTH ROCK No! I was happy to help them. They had a long journey and were so happy to be on land again, and it was my job to greet them! Play song #6: Thank The Lord For This Large Rock
