II. READ AND ANSWER
Thanksgiving Dinner
Last Thanksgiving my parents had a large family dinner at their house. Getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner takes
a lot of work.
The day started well and by late afternoon we had completed most of the work. Everyone had helped to make the
meal a success. We had put the turkey in the oven earlier that day so the house was starting to smell like roast
turkey. The grandchildren had finished setting the table for Thanksgiving dinner. My aunt had made two pies for
dessert, a pumpkin pie and an apple pie. My brother and I had peeled the carrots and the potatoes.
We had just turned on the stove to start cooking the vegetables when the power went out! The oven stopped
working! We couldn’t cook the vegetables! The turkey wouldn’t finish cooking! We waited. We talked. We went for
a walk.
We had waited two hours by the time the power came back on. We had almost given up hope. Dinner was late that
night but it was a Thanksgiving dinner that we won’t forget.
