00:0010 Thank You Letters by Daniel Kirk
00:29Hello Rabbit! Hello Pig! Want to play?
00:43Sure! But first, I'm writing a thank you letter to my grandma. She got me this sweater for
00:54my birthday. Nice! Hey, I want to thank my grandma too!
01:04Can I borrow a piece of paper, Pig? And a pencil? Sure, Rabbit!
01:12Dear Grandma, Thank you for the marshmallow cake you always beg for my birthday. Love, Rabbit!
01:23Okay, Pig. I'm done with my letter. How about you?
01:28Not yet, Rabbit. I am telling my grandma about the weather.
01:36But it's a thank you letter. Why tell her about the weather?
01:42I don't know, Rabbit. It's just the way I do it.
01:50Whoa! I just thought of someone who deserves a big thank you.
01:55Can I borrow another piece of paper, Pig? And an envelope? And a stamp too?
02:06Dear Madam President, Thanks for doing a ducky job.
02:11Let me know if you need some help. Love, Rabbit!
02:18Done! Are you finished with your letter yet, Pig?
02:23Well, no. I thought I'd tell Grandma about how I'm helping Mom with chores.
02:33Chores? Why are you telling her that? It's a thank you letter!
02:39Because Grandma likes it when I help my Mom.
02:42And she might want to know how things are going around here.
02:50Hey! I just thought of another great person to thank. Can I borrow more paper?
03:00Dear Mr. Lapa, In case you were wondering how things are going around here,
03:05they are great! Your funny books make my whole class laugh. Love, Rabbit!
03:13Aren't you done with your letter yet, Pig?
03:19No, Rabbit. I just want to tell Grandma that I laughed so much yesterday my loose tooth came out.
03:29Can I have another sheet of paper, Pig?
03:33Let me guess. You thought of someone else to thank. I sure did.
03:38Dear Miss Packeter, Thanks for teaching us about brushing our teeth.
03:44Now I have clean teeth and fresh breath. Love, Rabbit!
03:52This one's done, too. How's your letter going, Pig?
03:57Well, I haven't seen my Grandma in a while, so there's a lot to tell her.
04:01But you keep interrupting!
04:03Sorry, Pig. Maybe if you just give me a stack of paper and envelopes and more stamps,
04:10I won't have to bother you.
04:16Dear Mr. Moose, You are the best librarian.
04:20Thanks for finding me so many sports books. Love, Rabbit!
04:24Dear Mrs. Chicken, Thanks for being a great crossing guard
04:29and making sure everyone gets to the other side. Love, Rabbit!
04:35Dear Mr. Mouse, Thanks for being a great librarian.
04:38Now I have a lot of sports books to read. Love, Rabbit!
04:46Dear Mrs. Chicken, Thanks for being a great crossing guard
04:51and making sure everyone gets to the other side. Love, Rabbit!
04:59Dear Mr. Hog, Thanks for always giving me a carrot pop at your market. Love, Rabbit!
05:10Dear Mr. Kid, Thanks for delivering all our mail.
05:14It's a lot to carry, isn't it? Love, Rabbit!
05:18There! I am finished! See you later, Pig.
05:22I'm off to the mailbox to send my letters.
05:29Finally, I can finish my letter. Yay! Done!
05:35But Rabbit used all my envelopes and all the stamps.
05:41Oh, no! How will I mail my letter to Grandma now?
05:55Hello, Pig. Guess what? I got more envelopes and stamps for you.
06:04And I wrote one more thank you letter.
06:08And I wrote one more thank you letter. I thought I'd deliver it myself. Here!
06:17Thanks, Rabbit! No one ever wrote me a thank you letter before.
06:23Dear Pig, Thank you for inspiring me and for being generous and for being my friend.
06:31Love, Rabbit! P.S. Now are you ready to play catch?
06:37Yay! Game time! Yes, after a quick stop at the mailbox.
06:50Dear Grandma, Thanks for sending the great birthday sweater.
06:54Did you know my favorite color is purple? The weather has been cool, so I can wear the
07:00sweater every day, even when I am helping Mom wash dishes or sweep the floor.
07:07Yesterday, my best friend Rabbit and I were laughing at a funny book, and my loose tooth
07:12fell out. Oh, well. I will grow another one. Anyway, thanks again for the sweater,
07:19and I hope you are well. Love, Pig.
07:25If you enjoyed that story, please give it a thumbs up so more little kiddos can see it.
07:31Till next time!
