Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Bob. He lived on a farm and had many animals, like cows, pigs, and chickens. One day, Bob heard that Thanksgiving was coming up and he wanted to do something special to show how thankful he was for his animals and the workers who helped him on the farm.

So, Bob decided to throw a big feast for everyone on the farm. During the fall, he worked hard to gather all the food he would need for the feast. On Thanksgiving Day, Bob dressed up in his finest clothes and called all the workers and the owner of the farm to come over for a big feast.

All the workers and the owner came over and were surprised by the big feast that Bob had prepared. They ate turkey, pumpkin pie, and all sorts of other delicious foods. After they finished eating, Bob stood up and said, "Thank you all for coming to my farm today. I am so grateful for all the hard work you do on my farm."

Everyone clapped and cheered, and then Bob did something even more surprising. He pulled out a big cake with "Thank You" written on it in frosting! The workers and the owner were so happy and thanked Bob for the feast and the cake.

From that day on, Bob and the workers and the owner all celebrated Thanksgiving together every year, and they never forgot to say "Thank you" for all the good things they had in their lives.

The end.
