For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:

Dear Aunt Gwen, Thanks a ton for the Rootser! He's perfect! I named him Hades after your rooster that attacked me when I was little. Now the kids ask for 'Hades Syrup' on their waffles. Hope you're having fun over there in Paris. Love you lots!
