Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
—William Bennett
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun 36 to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be considered economically 37 , but still many would 38 the holidays with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the 39 of most of her students’ art. And they were.
40 , Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a special kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, 41 and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt 42 those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When 43 to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just a(n) 44 hand.
His abstract image captured the 45 of his classmates, whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers 46 turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and 47 people. And so the discussion went ---- until the teacher 48 forgot the young artist himself.
When the children had gone on to other tasks, she 49 at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and 50 , “It’s yours, teacher.”

Brushing 53 a tear, she went on with her work.　　
The story speaks of 54 thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that 55 .
