Since it was Thanksgiving Day, she knew that most of the class would draw pictures of turkeys (火鸡) or of Thanksgiving tables with lots of food.What made Mrs. Klein surprised was Douglass picture. Douglas was so shy and likely to be found away from the others as they went outside for games. Douglass drawing was simply this:A hand, clearly, but whose hand? The class was attracted by his picture. “I think it must be the hand of his mum or dad that brings us food,” said one student.“A farmer,” said another, “because they grow the turkeys.”“It looks more like a policeman, and they protect us.” “I think,” said Lavinia, who was always so serious, “that it is supposed to be all the hands that help us, but Douglas could only draw one of them.”Mrs. Klein was very happy to see that the class showed so much interest in Douglas picture. When she had the others at work on another project, she went over to him and asked whose hand it was.Douglas answered in a very low voice, “Its yours, Teacher.”Then Mrs. Klein remembered that she had taken Douglas by the hand from time to time; she often did that with the children. But that it should have meant so much to Douglas Perhaps, she thought, this was her Thanksgiving, and everybodys Thanksgivingnot the material things we receive, but the small ways that we give something to others.5 .
