Thanksgiving Day is near. The first-grade teacher gave her class a fun task——to draw a picture of something for which they are thankful.

Most of the class will celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of season. These, the teacher thinks, will be the subjects of her students’ art. And they are, for most students.

But Douglas makes a different kind of picture. He draws a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. Douglas is a different kind of boy. Most of the time, as other children play together, Douglas just stands closely by his teacher’s side. Everyone can see the sadness he feels from his eyes.

His picture interests other students. Whose hands could it be? A farmer’s? A police officer’s? No one knows. The teacher stops at Douglas desk, bents down, and asks him whose hand it is. The little boy looks away and says, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She remembers the times she has taken his hand and walked with him here and there. How often has she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Douglas is thankful for his teacher’s hand. It means much to Douglas. He might not always say thanks, but he’ll remember the hand that reaches out. She dries her tears and goes on with her work.

Healthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.

Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty--sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast

Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt(酸奶) or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.

Don't eat dinner late. In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.
