Fen's Big Thank You, page 1
1Fen had a den in the sand by the pond. One day, a big, thick log fell on the path to her den. Fen could not get home. Thad ran up. He chomped the log in two and pushed it off the path.
Fen's Big Thank You, page 2
2Then he fixed the path with mud. Fen did want to thank him. But she did not say a thing. She just hid in her den. Fen sat in her den to think.
Fen's Big Thank You, page 3
3"I can not say it, but I can write it," she said. She got a thin stick and went down the path to Thad's dam. With the stick, she dug in the wet sand to write THANK YOU.
Fen's Big Thank You, page 4
4Then she hid in the grass. Later, Thad swam up to his dam. He saw THANK YOU in the sand. "Who did this?" said Thad. Then he spotted Fen's tracks, and he grinned. "Any time, Fen!" he said. Fen grinned back.
