On Thanksgiving Day, a teacher asked her class of firstgraders to draw a picture of something they were thankful for. She thought that these children from poor families actually had little to be thankful for. And she found most of them drawing pictures of flowers or tables with food. The teacher was very surprised to see the picture Douglas handed in. It's a hand,a simple hand. 

But whose hand? The class were very interested in the strange picture. "I think it must be the hand of God that brings us food," said one child, "A farmer’s," said another, "Because he grows beautiful flowers. " Finally when the others were at work ，the teacher went over to Douglas' desk and asked whose hand it was. "It's your hand, Teacher," he said quietly and shyly. 

She remembered that she had often taken Douglas, a dirty lonely child, by the hand while having a class break. She often did that with the children. But it meant so much to Douglas. Perhaps this is everyone's thanksgiving，not for the material things we get，but for the chance，in whatever small way, to give to others.

　　The class teacher thought that hobbies (嗜好) were very important for every child. She hoped that all her pupils would have one, and sometimes she arranged (安排) for their parents to come and see the work they had done as a result.

　　One Friday morning the teacher told the class that those who had a hobby could have a holiday that afternoon to get the things they had made as parts of their hobbies ready for their parents to see the following afternoon.

　　So on Friday afternoon, while those of the pupils who had nothing to show did their usual lessons, the lucky ones who had made something were agreed to go home, but they had to return before five o'clock to bring what they were going to show, and to arrange it.

　　When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. She found it difficult to believe (相信) that he had a hobby.

After his teacher had helped him to arrange them on a table in the classroom, she was surprised to see Tommy pick them up again and began to leave.

　　“What are you doing, Tommy?”she asked, “Those things must be here until tomorrow afternoon. That's when the parents are coming to see them.”

　　“I know they are coming then,” answered Tommy, “and will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother does not want them to be out of the house at night because they might be stolen (偷).”

　　“But what has it got to do with your big brother?”asked the teacher. “Aren't the butterflies yours?”

　　“No,” answered Tommy. “They are his.”
