PagineA polite little turkey teaches the whole farm the magic of “thank you.” A free Pagine Original early-reader story.
Tomkin the turkey was gentle and true, and all the day long he said, “Thank you!”
“Thank you for corn,” he’d say to the hen. “Thank you for shade,” to the barn now and then.
The pig only grumbled, the goat only frowned — “Thank you for nothing!” they honked all around.
But when autumn came and the harvest was small, kind Tomkin shared his own corn with them all.
The farm was amazed. “How can this be?” “I’m thankful,” said Tomkin, “for you and for me.”
So now on the farm, before every meal, they all say “thank you” — and mean how they feel.
The End.
