Grandpa's Thanksgiving Surprise

Once upon a time, there was a big family who loved Thanksgiving.

A large family gathering around a long dining table, happy and excited

Grandpa, with his snowy white hair and twinkling blue eyes, was famous for his funny jokes and silly stories.

The smell was so bad that it made everyone's eyes water. Even the dog, Max, ran away with his tail between his legs.
