感謝大家多年來對節目的聆聽和支持。今天，我們來分享一個關於著名的紐約市感恩節遊行的有趣歷史小故事！

Here is the original text from the New York Times:

Fun fact: It didn’t start out as a Thanksgiving parade at all, but as a stunt to jump start the 1924 Christmas shopping season (and to edge out the rowdy Ragamuffin Day parade). That year, the floats were accompanied by store employees and animals borrowed from the Central Park Zoo. The organizers quickly realized that marching tired elephants and tigers through Midtown just wouldn’t fly, but big balloons might. And for a dozen parades or so the balloons were released into the air over Manhattan, with a return address label that promised a $100 bounty for their return. Mayhem ensued, so that got nixed, too.
