The Magic Pie of Thanks

A story about Thanksgiving
for your Kindergartener.
Zippy Zapata bounced inside his cozy cottage. Tall vines climbed the walls like friendly snakes. “It’s almost Thanksgiving!” he said. “I want to bake a Magic Pie for everyone!”
Just then, Zibloo arrived, wiggling his bright antennae. “I love Thanksgiving too!” said Zibloo. “Let’s share our thanks under the sparkling stars!”
In the magical kitchen, many enchanted pies danced inside the oven. Zippy and Zibloo wanted to bake one more pie, but something seemed missing. “What is our special ingredient?” whispered Zippy.
They hurried outside to ask a wise old owl. She perched on a branch above them. “Owl, do you know the missing ingredient?” Zippy asked. The owl hooted softly. “Sometimes, a thankful heart is the key,” she said.
Next, they met a busy squirrel gathering acorns. “Squirrel, have you seen a missing ingredient?” asked Zibloo. The squirrel chattered. “When friends help each other, magic happens!” he said.
At the edge of the woods, a talking brook whispered sweetly. “Water flows best when shared,” the brook babbled. Zippy and Zibloo smiled. Maybe kindness filled the final step of their pie.
They hurried home, thinking about what the owl and squirrel and brook said. “I think we need thanks in our pie,” said Zippy. “Saying ‘thank you’ shows we care.”
Zibloo nodded and explained, “When we tell others we are thankful, we share our happiness. That’s how we find real magic!”
