At Adriana y Rodrigo's house on Thanksgiving day, everything smelled fantastic! The grown-ups were in the kitchen filling the best china dishes with all sorts of yummy Thanksgiving food. In the spirit of sharing, every Thanksgiving Adriana y Rodrigo's family made a big turkey dinner to eat with special friends.

All of a sudden the doorbell rang. It was maria, one of Adriana y Rodrigo's favorite people. "Come in!" Adriana y Rodrigo said excitedly. "Dinner's almost ready!" "I've brought seafood," maria said, smiling, holding up a dish of great-looking seafood. And juan has made turkey," Adriana y Rodrigo said. This is going to be great!

Dinner was terrific. The turkey and stuffing was especially good this year. But, the big question every year at Adriana y Rodrigo's house was: "Who will share the wishbone?" This year was no different! "Me, me!" Adriana y Rodrigo and maria pleaded. The grown-ups smiled. juan nodded and said, "Go ahead you two!"

Adriana y Rodrigo and maria were given the wishbone. Each grabbed one end and pulled. All of a sudden, the wishbone slipped from their fingers and flew into the air! From nowhere, dog appeared and grabbed the wishbone! Everyone jumped up! The grown-ups started shouting: "Get it!" "Grab the bone!" "dog can't eat that!" "Bones aren't safe for pets!" Chairs fell over and dishes almost crashed to the floor as everyone tried to catch dog. dog loved all the attention and ran happily around the room, slipping away each time someone got close!

Finally, juan caught dog and got the wishbone away. "Whew! Here it is," juan said, holding the wishbone in the air for all to see. Oh no! It was broken! For a moment, everyone was silent. "Well," juan said, starting to laugh. "It looks like dog gets to make the wish this year! I hope it's a good one!" Then, everyone laughed and applauded. "More pie!" maria said.

This is a Thanksgiving to remember always, Adriana y Rodrigo thought, looking around at all the happy faces. Adriana y Rodrigo would always remember this Thanksgiving as "dog's Thanksgiving Wish!"
