The Day Before Thanksgiving

The Day Before Thanksgiving

The Hoppers awoke one late November morning, and the snow was falling outside. They jumped out of their beds and ran to the window. “ Come downstairs, Hoppers, ” called Mother Hopper. “ There's a letter here for you. ”

The Hoppers dashed downstairs. " Let me read it! ” yelled Speedy Legs. “ Let me read it! ” shouted Floppy Ears. “ I want to read it! ” hollered Fluffy Tail. “ A letter! A letter! ” said Snubby Nose, and he jumped up and down.

“ I will read it, ” said Mother Hopper. She read the letter aloud: “ Dear Hoppers, I invite you all to come to my house in the woods to spend Thanksgiving Day. Your loving, Grandpa Grizzly. ”

“ Thanksgiving at Grandpa Grizzly's! Hooray! " shouted Snubby Nose. “ Now it's time to bundle up to go to school, " said Mother Hopper. “ It is cold outside and snowing hard. " Outside, the wind blew and the snow fell. The four Hoppers put on their warm coats, mittens, hats, and scarves.

“ This is the biggest snowstorm I've ever seen, ” said Speedy Legs. “ The snow already comes halfway up to the windows, ” said Floppy Ears. “ Let's get our sled out, ” said Fluffy Tail. “ We can sled to school. ”
