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 model of a man, like a scarecrow).They do these things because they're remembering when the King of England, James l, and the Houses of Parliament were nearly blown up with gunpowder.
