Last Thanksgiving my parents had a large family dinner at their house. Getting ready for Thanksgiving
dinner takes a lot of work.
The day started well and by late afternoon we had completed most of the work. Everyone had helped to
make the meal a success. We had put the turkey in the oven earlier that day so the house was starting to
smell like roast turkey. The grandchildren had finished setting the table for Thanksgiving dinner. My aunt
had made two pies for dessert, a pumpkin pie. My brother and I had peeled the carrots and the potatoes.
We had just turned on the stove to start cooking the vegetables when the power went out¡ the oven stopped
working¡ we couldn´t cook the vegetable¡ the turkey wouldn´t finish cooking¡ we waited. We talked. We
went for a walk.
We had waited two hours by the time the power came back on. We had almost given up hope. Dinner was
late that night but it was a Thanksgiving dinner that we won´t forget.

El pasado Día de Acción de Gracias, mis padres tuvieron una gran cena familiar en su casa. Prepararse
para la cena de Acción de Gracias requiere mucho trabajo.
El día empezó bien y al final de la tarde habíamos completado la mayor parte del trabajo. Todos habían
contribuido a que la comida fuera todo un éxito. Habíamos puesto el pavo en el horno ese mismo día, así
que la casa comenzaba a oler a pavo asado. Los nietos habían terminado de poner la mesa para la cena de
Acción de Gracias. Mi tía había hecho dos tartas de postre, una tarta de calabaza. Mi hermano y yo
habíamos pelado las zanahorias y las patatas. Acabábamos de encender la estufa para comenzar a cocinar
las verduras cuando se fue la luz¡ el horno dejó de funcionar¡ no pudimos cocinar la verdura¡ el pavo no
se terminó de cocinar¡ esperamos. Hablamos. Fuimos a dar un paseo.
Habíamos esperado dos horas cuando volvió la energía. Casi habíamos perdido la esperanza. La cena fue
tarde esa noche, pero fue una cena de Acción de Gracias que no olvidaremos.
