A Glad Thanksgiving

It was a cold Thanksgiving Day.

Big Turkey and Gray Goose were in the hen house. All the chickens were there, too.

"How cold it is!" said Gray Goose.

"I have never seen so much snow."

"I don't like this cold day at all," said Big Turkey.

"I wish Jack would hurry. It is time for our dinner," said the goose.

"Cock-a-doodle-do!" said the rooster.

"Every one should be happy today. This is Thanksgiving Day."

"How can I be happy today?" said the goose. "I am hungry."

"I am hungry, too," said the rooster, "and I would like some water.

But we should be glad to have this home. The cold wind can not get in, and the fox can not catch us.

We should all try to be very happy on this Thanksgiving Day."

The turkey and the goose said, "You are right, White Rooster. We should all be happy today."

White Rooster said, "Then let us sing a Thanksgiving song."

So they all began to sing.

Mother, Father, Jack, and Molly were eating Thanksgiving dinner.

"I hear a noise in the hen house!" said Mother. "Jack, did you forget to feed the chickens?"

Jack said, "Oh, Mother, I am sorry. I did forget. I will run out now and feed them."

Molly said, "They should have some water, too. Poor chickens!

They have not had any dinner. Come, Jack. Let us hurry."

Big Turkey saw them coming.

"Here come the children," he said.

"They liked our Thanksgiving song very much, and now they are going to give us a Thanksgiving dinner."

What a good dinner it was!

After dinner Big Turkey said, "Now let us sing another song. Ready! One, two, three, sing!"

When Jack heard their song, he said, "Hear them sing in the hen house! They like Thanksgiving Day, too."
