Abstract: "I shall ask my mother to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner like what we read about. If Mother would buy some vegetables and pork, I could prepare the dishes I tried at the school kitchen,"" Idad thought. If Mother were only willing to spend half of Father's earnings, we would have a special dinner, too!"" After breakfast, Idad took her twenty centavo piece to the market. ""Father, Mother, see what we have for lunch!"" The younger children greeted their parents.""Where did you get all these Mothers asked with a little resentment.""Please be seated and I shall tell you all about it, and ldad's eyes
sparkled with pride. We mixed the flaked fish With mashed potato and a little butter. We then cooked it in a little lard until brown."" ""Where did you get the money for all the ingredients?"" the mother asked. ""From the twenty-centavo piece you gave me. "
