Two Thanksgivings

" Why are we visiting Uncle Ed now? Thanksgiving is next month, " Curtis said. " In the United States, Thanksgiving is in November, " his mom replied. " In Canada, it's in October. " " Why?" Curtis asked.

“ Ask Uncle Ed. He used to teach history. You could learn a lot from him, " his mom said. " Teach? Learn? I thought this was a vacation! " exclaimed Curtis. Curtis's mom laughed as she turned into Uncle Ed’s driveway.

Uncle Ed met them at the front door. He said, “ Sis, you haven't changed a bit. Curtis, I bet you've grown three inches. " " That's because I eat a lot, " Curtis said. " Then I'm glad I made a snack, " Uncle Ed said. He led everyone into the kitchen.

“ Why is Canada's Thanksgiving so early?" Curtis asked between bites. " Thanksgiving is when we give thanks for the harvest, " Uncle Ed said. “ Since Canada gets colder before the United States, its harvest and Thanksgiving come earlier. "

The next day, Curtis's mom helped Uncle Ed cook Thanksgiving dinner. “ What are we having?" Curtis asked. " You'll find out soon, " his mom said. " Why don't you watch TV?"
