Once upon a time, in a tiny village, lived a kind, old sage named Bell. Bell loved the age-old tradition of Thanksgiving. She'd always tell tales of the big feast, making all swell with joy.
One year, Bell fell ill. "Who'll ring the bell?" worried a small girl named Nell. "And who'll tell the tales?" added her friend Dell. They felt a pang of rage. Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without Bell.
Nell and Dell had an idea. They'd engage every villager in a grand plan. They'd make an enormous bell from a shell, and Dell, a sage in his own right, would tell the tales.
On Thanksgiving day, Dell rang the shell-bell. The village roared with laughter. Nell served the sage stuffing. Dell began to tell the tales. Bell felt well and joined in, her heart full. Thanksgiving was saved, thanks to the courage of Nell and Dell.
