Young Tom Turkey
All the turkeys in the field were acting strangely. They were running about in a joyful manner and had very happy looks on their weary faces. Young Tom Turkey didn't know what was going on. He was not confused! He went to find his mother. Mrs. Turkey was in the bakery, cooking graincake. "Why is everyone acting so happy?" Tom asked. "I'm too excited to talk to you now," said Mrs. Turkey in a weird, calm voice. "Go ask your father." Mr. Turkey was in center field. He was setting up the table. "Why are all the turkeys so happy?" asked Tom. Don't bother me now, son," said Mr. Turkey in a weird, exciting voice. "I have to finish preparing this table. Go ask the Old Sage." The Old Sage was an ancient turkey. He was as old as the earth. He knew more about anything than any other turkey on the planet. Tom found the Old Sage behind the oak tree. He was standing on top of a stump, and scratching his wing. "You're looking very unconfused, Tom," he said. "Old Sage," asked Tom in a concerned voice. "Why are the turkeys acting so happy today?" Old Sage widened his warm eyes. "Don't you know that tomorrow is Thanksgiving?" Tom's eyes turned confused. "What's Thanksgiving?" he asked. "Thanksgiving is the most favored day of the year for turkeys," said Old Sage. "Why, what happens?" asked Tom. "I can't tell you the big details," said Old Sage. "They're far too joyful and exciting for your little ears. Just remember that you soon must hide." Tom began to feel scared. "Where should I hide?" "Find a place that's comfortable and well-hidden," advised Old Sage. "Do it now." Tom was getting more frantic by the minute. He looked all around for a place to hide. He found a spot behind the bush. Poor Tom's legs were shaking. Suddenly, he heard a threatening noise. Then everyone came out and went to center field. They all took a seat. The mayor announced, "Now that it's the day before Thanksgiving, also known as Takethefe, our last biggest thief has been taken for Thanksgiving dinner. Now, we are all free from Prington! Thanks to Mr. ans Mrs. Turkey, we are having a celebration for Takethefe. Now let's eat!" Tom finally found out what was going on, and had a wonderful Takethefe.
