A THANKSGIVING TALE

As autumn leaves fall and the air turns crisp, a special holiday is just around the corner. Thanksgiving, a beloved American tradition, is a time to gather with family and friends, give thanks for our blessings, and feast on delicious food. With its roots in the early days of the Pilgrims, Thanksgiving has become a symbol of gratitude and unity, reminding us of the importance of coming together and celebrating the joys of life.

Scene: A clearing in the woods, with a large wooden table set up for a feast. John and Mary are bustling about, preparing food and decorations.

JOHN: Mary, did you remember to bring the cranberries?

MARY: Yes, I’ve got them right here. (Holds up a bag)

JOHN: Good. And the venison?

MARY: It’s cooking on the fire. Should be ready soon.

(Enter Chief Wampanoag and Running Deer)

CHIEF WAMPANOAG: Greetings, Pilgrims. We have brought some food to share.

JOHN: Thank you, Chief. We are honored by your presence.

RUNNING DEER: (looks around) This is a fine table. Did you make it yourselves?

MARY: Yes, we did. We wanted to make it special for our guests.
