BONFIRE NIGHT
“Remember, remember,
the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
We see no reason why
Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!”
Words to Guy Fawkes Rhyme
On 5 November every year, children in Britain get excited because it is Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes’ Night). They lit bonfires and enjoy fireworks displays. On top of the fire is a guy (a homemade dummy, like a scarecrow). They also eat sausages and jacked potatoes.
They do these things because they remember the attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament and the king James I. It was the Gunpowder Plot.
