__ Tom the Terrible Turkey __

Once there was a small town called Thanksgivingville. The town was pretty and everyone was very happy. The people all liked their town because it was so beautiful. Thanksgivingville had butterflies and it was very clean. It was the night before Thanksgiving. Everyone was excited for eating turkey and celebrating. Then a giant turkey came to town.

The turkey's name was Tom the Terrible Turkey. He got his name because he was a bully and was not nice to people and things. The people saw Tom the Terrible Turkey and said "We have to catch him because he is going to destroy our town and our Thanksgiving dinner!" "We need to catch him and put him in a cage!" The people wanted to teach him how to be nice and say nice things. So they got a giant net and went out to catch him.



Catching Tom the Terrible Turkey was not easy. First, he was very fast and everyone was chasing him. When the people got him in the net, his beak was very sharp and he poked a hole in the net and got loose again. Then he ran some more. The people of Thanksgivingville chased that turkey very far and for more than 100 hours. Then, they got out a steel net and caught him. He couldn't break through that! Finally, they put him in a big steel cage.



Tom got very sad and started to cry. He told the townspeople that he was mad because they ate his family last Thanksgiving.



The townspeople told Tom that he could stay with them if he was nice from now on. Tom promised to be nice if they would stop eating turkey for Thanksgiving. The town thought about it and decided to eat chicken instead.
