Once upon a time, in a sunny forest, there lived a little turkey named Toby. Toby was small, shy, and very curious. Thanksgiving was coming soon, and all the animals were busy getting ready for the big Forest Feast.
But Toby felt worried.
“What if I have nothing special to bring?” he sighed. “I’m just a little turkey.”
Toby decided to walk through the forest to find something he could share.
On his way, he met Bella the Bunny.
“Hi Toby!” said Bella. “Why do you look so sad?”
“I want to bring something to the Thanksgiving Feast,” Toby said, “but I don’t know what.”
Bella smiled. “You don’t need something big. Sometimes small things are the best!”
Toby continued walking. Next he met Max the Squirrel, who was carrying a huge nut.
“I can’t bring anything like that…” Toby thought.
But Max said, “Toby! Everyone can bring something. Even a smile or a kind word!”
Toby kept walking until he reached the sparkling river. He watched the water flow and felt a warm idea growing in his heart. Maybe the best gifts weren’t things you could hold, but feelings you could share.
Finally, Toby sat on a big rock and thought.
Then he had an idea.
“I will bring something special… something only I can give!”
On the day of the Forest Feast, all the animals gathered around the big wooden table.
Bella brought carrots.
Max brought nuts.
The birds brought berries.
And Toby?
He stood up, took a deep breath, and said loudly:
“Thank you, everyone, for being my friends!”
All the animals clapped and cheered.
“That,” said Bella, “is the best gift of all!”
And from that day, Toby was known as The Turkey Who Said Thank You—and the forest felt warmer and happier every Thanksgiving.
The End.
