![]() Thanksgiving Day SurpriseA Story by Some Random Person.We gathered to try to help Papa get the turkey. Ever since we oved to America, Papa made sure that we were in on every single tadition. It was sometimes quite hard because we barely had enough money to keep basic clothes on our backs. Plus, Anjela wasn't helping. We had to catch a wild turkey to eat one. We enjoyed it, even though kids at school made fun of us. I'm just happy to eat a turkey.
We chased it around the school yard at first, Mi hermano and yo. Finally, Andre told me to go run home and get Papa. He said that Papa would know what to do, so I ran home, exhausted, barely catching my breath, and I said to Papa, "Nos encontramos un pavo en la escuela. Por favor, ayúdenos. Necesitamos obtener para el almuerzo de mañana." He looked at me with a look of delight that would be of a child's getting a piece of candy. He grabbed his shovel, his coat, a scarf, and a pair of gloves then ran to my school to help my brother. Mami was in the kitchen, where she always was, reading a spanish book. I walked in. "Hola Mami. Papi went to help Andre por the turkey."
She looked at me, and I forgot she didn't know Ingles. She asked, "Que? Tienes hambre?"
I sighed. "Si, Mami. Tengo muy hambre. Tienes hambre?''
She didn't reply. Instead she nodded her head towards the refirdgerater. I went ahead with her clue and opened it. Inside were a bunch of Leche, yogurt, hamon, eggs, juice, and SODAS! I grabbed one with delight, and asked, "De dónde sacaste eso?"
She just laughed, and replied, "From tu Papi." She took a sip from hers, which I had forgotten was there, until, that is, she sipped at it.
"De Papi? I wonder quien gave them to him." I wondered alloud.
"Yo no se. No me lo dire." Mi Mami said.
"Oh..."
Then, about ten minutes later, mi Papa y hermano, Andre walked in our house.
Mi Papa looked at me with the happiest face I've ever seen on him, and said, "Yo got a trabaja today! Nosotros eatamos rich! Pero, yo have to practicar ingles more. Will you ayuda me?"
I squeeled, delighted by the news. I ran up and huged him, "Si, Papa. Si, or course I will."
Now that Papa's working full time, we're rich, and we don't have to worry so much. And that's what I'm thankful for. © 2011 Some Random Person.Author's Note
