And then it is served to us--dark meat and whiteAnd Father says, smiling, "How's your appetite?" ·And then comes dessert-and I just can't say "No," But later I wish that I had. So key I smell!" .although And Mother, undoing a parcel, says, I always am glad whei_i Thanks"My! Grandmcther has brought us a Thanksgiving pie!" giving is here, I'm glad, too, it comes only once in a year.
