A friend of mine told me a story about Thanksgiving,a holiday American people celebrate on the fourth Thursday of November.It is their custom to give thanks to God for the harvest.A big dinner is prepared,and turkey is the main dish
One Thanksgiving Day,a teacher of an elementary school asked her first graders what they were thankful for.She asked them to draw a picture of it.These children were from poor neighborhoods.Their families could hardly provide them a big dinner most of them would draw pictures of turkeys on tables,because they had looked forward to having turkey for a long time.The teacher was surprised and puzzled by the picture that Jack handed in-a hand,a simple childishly drawn hand!
But whose hand?The class was excited by the strange painting"I think it must be the hand of God that brings us food" said one child"It must be the farmer's hand"said another,"because he raises turkeys"
Finally ,when the others were back at work,the teacher bent over Jack's desk and asked whose hand it was "It's your hand ,Teacher" he said in a weak voice
She remembered she had taken Jack ,a poor shy child,by the hand seberal times.She often did that with the children.But it meant so much to Jack.Perhaps this was everyone's Thanksgiving,not for the material things given to us,but for the chance,in whatever small way,to give to others
我的朋友告诉了我一个关于感恩节的故事,这个节日是美国人在十一月的第四个周四庆祝的.这是他们向上帝表达对丰收的感谢的一种习俗.他们要准备一顿丰盛的晚餐,而火鸡则是其中最主要的一道菜.
在一个感恩节,一所小学的老师问她的一年级学生们他们对什么感到感激.她要求他们对此画一张图.这些学生是来自附近的贫苦地区,他们的家庭几乎不能供给他们一餐丰盛的晚餐.他们中的大部分画了一只桌上的烤火鸡,因为他们梦想着吃火鸡已经很久了.老师被杰克交上的一幅图片震惊和困惑了:那是一只手,一个很稚嫩地画上去的手!
但这是谁的手呢?整个教室被这幅奇怪的画鼓动了.“我认为这一定是赐予我们食物的上帝的手.”一个学生说.“这一定是一个农民的手,”另一个说,“因为他们养殖火鸡.”
最后,当所有人都回到了自己的事情时,老师来到杰克的座位前问他这是谁的手.“这是您的,老师.”他以一个微弱的声音说.
她想起了自己曾经几次牵着杰克——那个贫苦而羞怯的孩子的手.她经常对学生们这样做.但这个动作对杰克来说意义非凡.也许这正是每一个人的感恩,不是为了给予我们的物质而感谢,而是对那些在任何细微之处给予别人的机会而感谢.
