Thanksgiving Day was near. The Grade 7 teacher asked her students to   16  a picture of something for which they were thankful.

People celebrated the   17   with turkey and other traditional goods of the season. So,   18   of her students’ pictures were about them.

However, Jack made a ___19____ kind of picture. Jack was not the same as other boys. He always looked sad. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was   20  , he drew a hand. Other students were all very    21   in the picture. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers feed    22   . Another suggested a police officer, because the police   23   and care for people. Still    24   guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the    25   went on until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.

When the children had gone on to other subjects, she stopped at Jack’s desk and asked him   26    it was. The little boy looked up and said in a   27   voice, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She remembered the times she had taken his hand and    28    with him here or there, as she had with the other students. She often said, “   29   my hand, Jack. We’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to use your pencil.” Jack was most thankful for his  ___30____ hand.
