Thanksgiving Day，2011-11-24
【Aiden in English】 On the day before Thanksgiving, the children were playing in the woods. Then they heard an ear shocking "BANG!" They screamed. They were sure a person 10 miles away could hear it! Together, they walked in a tidy circle to the barn. The children were silent for a while when they heard their mom call. At dinner, no one said a word. The children could have even heard a pin drop on the carpet. They didn't even bother to do their chores, instead, they just went to bed early.
No one got any sleep. About one o'clock in the morning, The children heard another ear shocking "BANG!" Then they heard a sound like a car zooming into the town.
The next morning, it was Thanksgiving. So they prepared to kill the turkey but the turkey was long gone!
They set off to search for the turkey and saw him snoring loudly on the grass next to the entrance of town. They were about to tackle the turkey when it jumped out of their reach. As fast as a blink of an eye, Poof! The turkey vanished.
One thing that the turkey left behind was his footprints. They followed it into the woods. Then the oldest child said, "What if the turkey got away again?" We could set traps all around him," answered the youngest. All of them agreed.
They quickly found the turkey and the children went in all directions to set up traps. They put on scary costumes ready to chase the turkey into the trap. The turkey tumbled down a deep, dark pit. He was pulled out of the pit and was in a cage the next second.
That night, they had the best Thanksgiving dinner ever.

感恩节前一天，孩子们正在林子里玩耍。突然，“砰”的一声，震耳欲聋！他们立刻被吓得尖叫起来，方圆十里地几乎都能听到这声巨响！他们手拉着手向谷仓走去，谁都不想说话，直到听见妈妈招呼他们回家为止。 晚饭时，孩子们仍然沉默不语。屋里静悄悄的，即使一根针掉到地毯上大伙儿都会听得一清二楚。晚饭后，他们顾不上干其它家务活，早早地上床睡觉去了。
其实，没有一个人能真正入睡。大约半夜一点钟，孩子们又听到同样的动静。接着，一阵犹如汽车轰鸣声朝小城方向奔去。
第二天，感恩节来临。大家本打算杀鸡过节，没想到家里的火鸡不见啦！
孩子们开始四处寻找火鸡，结果发现它正在城门跟前的草丛上呼呼地睡着大觉。他们正要逮它的时候，不料火鸡却飞走了，眨眼的工夫，“扑哧！”火鸡竟跑得无影无踪。
孩子们循着火鸡身后的脚印，一直追赶到林子里。年纪最大的孩子不解地问：“瞧，火鸡为什么逃掉了呢？”
“我们可以设陷阱逮住它。”年纪最小的一位马上建议道。
大家一致表示同意。
很快地，孩子们发现了这只火鸡。他们布下天罗地网，甚至打扮成各种模样逼火鸡就范。这时，火鸡跌跌撞撞，一下子掉进又深又黑的陷阱，孩子们好不容易才把它揪出来，放进笼子里去。
感恩节的晚上，孩子们终于吃上了有史以来最丰盛的大餐。
