Some days later, the Russian children joined their American friends at Paul’s house.
Dasha: Paul, you’ve got a very nice house. What is it there on the wall? It looks like an old document.
Paul: It’s a copy of the American Declaration of Independence. In 1776, on July 4th, thirteen American colonies of Britain declared their independence. They didn’t want to be part of the British Empire any longer. The 4th of July is now known as Independence Day, the birthday of the United States of America.
Dasha: Oh, yes, I know. It’s a very important national holiday.
Paul: My family and I always celebrate this day. It is a day off for everybody. We usually have a picnic or barbecue. In the mornings there are usually parades, and in the evenings fireworks in parks and town squares. You can see the colours of the American flag everywhere. It’s one of my favourite holidays!
Dasha: I like May holidays in Russia. May 9th is Victory Day. On May 9th, 1945, World War II ended. We have a parade and fireworks on this day.
Paul: Our countries were allies in this war. We fought together against Nazi Germany. On April 25th, 1945, Soviet and American soldiers met at the River Elbe in Germany. My great-grandfather was there. Maybe he met your great-grandfather there? He liked to show us his photographs of how Americans and Russians shook hands and embraced. Here is one of them!
