It was hard for me, a single mother, to put everyday food on the table for three growing tween and teen boys with the little I earned from work, but I promised them a nice meal for Thanksgiving day.
We looked forward to a day of good eating! But there was only enough bread in the house for a little stuffing, a few small sweet potatoes, one can of green beans, and two chicken breasts. It would have to do.
The next day, I met my friend and neighbour, Aleta, at her home. Her four boys and my kids were good friends. Her husband had recently lost his job due to illness, and financial difficulties hovered (盘旋) over their household as well.
“Were you able to get a turkey for Thanksgiving?” I asked.
“No, it will just be an ordinary meal for us.”
We were chatting about preparing a simple Thanksgiving dinner together without a turkey.
Suddenly my friend’s fourteen-year-old asked, “What about the turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and pie?”
I explained that unless they wanted to get out in the neighbourhood and earn some money, the menu stood as planned. He grabbed the lawnmower and various gardening tools, along with two of my sons, and headed out to entice (游说) neighbours to hire them for yard work. Although it was late in the afternoon when they began their mission, they found a few neighbours who helped them earn enough to purchase most of the items they set out for, except the turkey.
Four days before Thanksgiving, my friend called with news about a family living in our community who needed help with food. The father had been in an accident and unable to work. My friend and I went to visit them with some of our holiday cookies, hoping to help in some way. We gathered in their living room. In no time, everyone devoured (狼吞虎咽) the cookies.
Seeing the situation, without a word, we looked at each other, asking ourselves the same question; Could we sacrifice (牺牲) a little more and give the family our holiday meal?
