The Great Turkey Adventure

Mommy:


At a farm, way way out in the countryside lived a turkey named Tom.  Tom lived with his Grandma and his Mama and his seven brothers and sisters.  Tom liked the farm and he liked the farmer who came out to the turkey pen every day to feed them some really good grub.


Maddie:


But one day on a crisp evening the farmer did not come out with grub.  The farmer came out with an ax!  


Mommy:


Tom's Grandma took one look at the ax and shouted "Run Tom!! Run Run for your life every turkey!"  So Tom's Grandma, and Tom's Mama, and Tom's seven brothers and sisters, and of course Tom himself, plus allllll the other turkeys (and there were about fifty of them!) started to run in different directions all at once.  And they knocked that farmer on his bum and all those turkeys escaped!


Maddie:


Meanwhile the farmer's wife stood looking out the door and said, "Bob!" (who was the farmer's name) "Oh Bob!  Bob Bob I'm here I'm here! I'm coming so don't move off your bum!"  The rather middle aged woman came running out to her beloved husband shrieking in horror "Bob Bob the turkeys are getting away, we'll have no Thanksgiving turkey, let's catch them!"


Mommy:


So while Bob and his wife gave chase, Tom and his family of turkeys ran from the farm, down the lane, through the forest, across the river and into the city.  They  had never been to a city before and were astounded by the noise and the traffic and the rude people.  Tom and his family found the subway station and waddled down the steps gobbling all the way.  The busy city folk paid them no mind at all.


Maddie:


"Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble" said Tom and his family and all the other turkeys.  They swerved to the right-they swerved to the left but still kept in the same group.  "Scat scat scat scat" said an elderly man and a young woman.  


Mommy:


Farmer Bob and his wife did not like the city either.  They  liked their quiet farm  but they also liked their Thanksgiving turkey.  So they kept chasing the turkeys through the subway and out again onto the city streets.  Tom and his family kept running.  They did not want to be Thanksgiving dinner.  With Farmer Bob and his wife hot on their heels, Tom and the other turkeys hopped on a city bus and headed to the Empire State Building.


Maddie:


Tom and his family crept onto the bus while an elderly woman opened the door Tom and all the other turkeys came in.  Then the bus driver said,  "Halt there you turkeys!"  The turkeys turned around and headed for him.  And then they asked a young woman politely for her perfume.  And then they took it and sprayed it right into the bus drivers face and mouth and everywhere on him.  The bus driver yelled "Oh I'm getting off this thing!"  So he hopped off the bus and that left the turkeys to drive.


Mommy:


Tom's Grandma hopped behind the wheel and with a blast of the horn she put the pedal to the metal and tore off down the busy street.  The bus careened this way and that way and the turkeys fell out of their seats with a gobble gobble gobble.  "Hey watch it Grandma!"  yelled Tom. But Grandma was hard of hearing and just kept going and going and going till finally they reached the Empire State Building.  She slammed  on the breaks and the turkeys flew  into the wind shield.  But they were alright, their feathers gave them a nice cushion.


Maddie:


"Wowww" gasped every single turkey on the bus.  They had never seen something so big in their entire life.  Tom's grandma said "Tom, Tom, Tom,"  "Yes Grandma?"  said Tom.  "What do you think that is?"  asked Tom's grandma.  "Well, " said Tom. "I'm not actually sure what it looks like but we can make up the name for it right now."


Mommy:


So Tom and the other turkeys stood for a moment on the sidewalk, looking up at the Empire State Building, trying to come up with a good name for it.  "How about Big Tall Building?"  said one turkey.  "No," said another.  "How about Big Hard Rock Building?"  But those names did not sound right to Tom and the other turkeys.  Finally, Tom's Mama said, "I know, let's just call it Tom."


Maddie:


"Well, " said Tom. "I think that is a very good name for this building.  After all it is named after me!"  "Well, "said Tom's Grandma. "Don't just stand here staring at it, lets go investigate."  As Tom and the other turkeys approached he noticed that every step he took closer to it the building got an inch bigger.  Finally Tom and his family reached the building named Tom.


Mommy:


The turkeys spent a wonderful afternoon inside Tom (the building, not the turkey!)  They rode the elevator to the very top and took in all the sights.  Then they visited the gift shop where they all bought tee-shirts, snow globes and pencil cases.  Finally it was time to go.  They headed back for the bus and slowly climbed back on and took their seats.  And that was when the door slammed shut and Farmer Bob turned around in the driver's seat and said "Ah hah!!  Gotcha!"


Maddie:


Tom walked up to a middle aged woman who was sitting in the back seat.  He said to her that he was really going to need her pepper spray.  She lent him her pepper spray and Tom shook it up real good as he was walking up to Farmer Bob.  "You are wrong, Bob!  I've got YOU!" said Tom.  And Tom sprayed the pepper spray all over him and inside his mouth which went into his body.  And at that very instant the driver had a heart attack and died.  


Mommy:


NOT REALLY!  Ha ha!  Actually what happened was that just as Tom was going to spray the pepper spray into poor Farmer Bob's face, Tom's Grandma jumped up and said "Wait!  Farmer Bob, we turkeys have always been so happy on your farm, and you and your wife have taken very good care of us so far.  It doesn't seem right that you should eat us for Thanksgiving, does it?  After all, we bought you and your wife presents today!"  Farmer Bob and his wife, looked at each other in surprise.  


Maddie:


"Well okay," said Farmer Bob.  "Anyway, we can just buy pizza, loads and loads of it.  Any requests on what kind we should get?"


Mommy:


So the turkeys started calling out things like "Pepperoni"  "Sausage"  "Beets" (don't ask, they are turkeys, they are sometimes weird!)  


Maddie:


Farmer Bob yelled out "Okay okay stop it! We'll just get one of every kind you want!"  So the turkeys lined up and gave them their requests.  Farmer Bob called the pizza people and got the pizza and they all ate some yummy nummy ooey gooey delicious pizza.
