It was the turkey that made it the worst Thanksgiving ever…well, it 1did.
All the family—my grandparents, my parents, my aunt and uncle, my cousin, my sister and I— 2the turkey. However, turkey is not the easiest thing to 3. It takes a lot of time to prepare and a lot of work to cook…and there are a lot of chances for things to go wrong.
My mum and dad bought a nice, big turkey a few days before Thanksgiving. 4was proud of herself as she got it for a good price. 5Thanksgiving, Mum got the turkey out of the fridge. Early the next morning, my sister and I helped her put some butter and salt on the turkey. After that, Mum put it in the oven. It looked like it would be delicious. My sister and I were 6.
But soon, we noticed something was wrong. The oven was 7. Dad checked it closely. 8he said in a low voice, "it's broken. "
Mum's heart almost stopped. She didn't want her dinner to be a failure. We didn't know 9. How were we going to feed everyone without the turkey? Mum looked worried.
Finally, Dad had an idea, and we all agreed with his suggestion to order 10 instead. After all, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and spending time with your family.
That evening, we shared a delicious pizza. We had a great time, talking, eating and playing games. Thanksgiving without turkey can still be fun!
