Turkey! Turkey! Turkey!
copyright 1999 Cheryl Paton
"Turkey! �Turkey! �Turkey!" cried the gobbler. �"Soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!"
"Hush. �Hush. �Hush," cried his siblings. �"Don't let them know you're here."
"Who? �Who? �Who?" replied the gobbler
"The people, who will eat you on Thanksgiving Day," answered his brothers and sisters.
"Gulp," went the little gobbler. �"Why would they want to eat me on a day of Thanksgiving?"
"Because it is tradition to give thanks for a belly full of turkey on Thanksgiving Day. �Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, they say. �That sure was good."
They needn't say more, the siblings to the gobbler; he learned his lesson well, and fast. �As he then stretched out his tail feathers and pressed berries to their tips.
His brothers and sisters watched in wonder and awe. �Then their beaks hit the ground as the gobbler danced away singing, "I'm a peacock. �I'm a peacock."
