TOMMY'S THANKS.
Reading edition
I'm thankful for the nice red drum Aunt Mary gave to me; I'm thankful for the glossy pug That frisks about my knee. I'm thankful that our orchard old Is full of rosy fruit; I'm very thankful that I have A canvas football suit. I'm thankful for the fading tree That shakes the chestnuts down; But most of all I'm thankful for The turkey crisp and brown. R. K. M.
"Oh!" groaned Tommy, the day after Thanksgiving, as he took a bitter dose of medicine, "I wish I hadn't been so thankful yesterday."
