BONFIRE NIGHT- GUY FAWKES NIGHT

On Bonfire Night the British people remember Guy Fawkes.
On 5th November 1604 he wanted to blow up the houses of Parliament and kill the king. 

   Remember, remember!
    The fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder treason and plot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the Gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot!
