Hello everybody.

Hello, mother, Dick, Susan?

Or what's been going on around here?

What's the matter with everybody anyway?

Mom says we're not going to have any Thanksgiving.

No turkey, no good thing.

A fat lot we're going to have to be thankful for.

I don't think you kids really mean that we do too we've always had turkey for

Thanksgiving yes and everybody else no blocks gonna have it this year same as

always yes we've always had turkey, just as a lot of Americans

have had it and we'll keep on having it. Turkey on Thanksgiving is a great American tradition.

But what you kids are saying makes it sound as if the

turkey is the only thing we had to be thankful for. Well gee, we know dad. It's not

that at all. Oh, I know Dick. With turkey, it's easy to lose sight of what Thanksgiving really mean.

And don't think we're just making excuses, because we don't have any turkey this year.

We...

Well, we know it'll mean a lot more to us the next time we do have it.

Well, sure. Suppose we don't have a bang-up feast.

We're still a lot better off from the pilgrims.

That's it, Dick.

And you have the kids see what Dick's trying to say?

Turkey or no Turkey, we've still got all the freedoms and privileges the pilgrims gave us.
