American colonists in the approach to winterOH NO they're Puritans and can't farm or hunt because they all came from London. Indians thoughtfully bring nom noms to them to stop them dying. Yay Indians!
Next year, the colonists repay the favour by giving them smallpox-infested blankets and turn the whole sorry business into a national holiday.
