Once upon a time the pumpkin reigned supreme; his iconic image a mainstay for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Until one day when a handsome turkey made his presence felt. The pumpkin was understandably grumpy but, since the turkey has talons, he couldn't put up much of a fight.
The turkey, feeling brave after vanquishing the pumpkin from one of our country's most fabulous holidays, endeavors to make amends with the quintissential American bird.
Feeling buoyed by his friendship with the eagle, the turkey takes to the countryside and finds the people slightly too friendly.
Things go from humiliating to downright terrorizing for our hero as young boys are no longer satisfied just riding him and feel the need to chase him with weaponry.
Soon, however, the turkey gets his revenge!
But alas, a well timed tug on the bottom cannot protect the poor fellow from a well armed and hungry populace.
The End.
I like it. A witty turkey tale! Didn’t Benjamin Franklin want our National Bird to be the turkey?
Thanks Bev. I suspect that if the turkey had been made our national bird we wouldn’t be eating them every Thanksgiving!
