A

On Thanksgiving Day, a teacher asked her class of first graders 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. 3 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," said another, "because he grows

beautiful flowers." Finally when the others were at work, the teacher went over 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.

21. When did the story happen?

A. On Christmas Day. B. On Teachers' Day.

C. On Mother's Day. D. On Thanksgiving Day.

22. Whose hand did Douglas draw?

A. The farmer's. B. God's.

C. The teacher's. D. His own hand.

23. Why did Douglas draw the picture?

A. He was good at drawing it.

B. His teacher asked him to draw it.

C. He wanted to show his thanks to the teacher.

D. He hoped to get a prize in drawing.

24. What do you learn about Douglas from the passage?
