Introduction
Once upon a time, on a cozy farm, lived a very clever turkey named Tom. Thanksgiving was just around the corner, and Tom knew he had to find a way to stay out of trouble!
The Problem: Thanksgiving is Coming!
As the other animals enjoyed their days on the farm, Tom grew worried. He had heard that Thanksgiving wasn’t a good time for turkeys, and he didn’t want to be the star of the Thanksgiving meal. So, Tom came up with a plan, he’d disguise himself to avoid being caught!
Tom’s Silly Costumes
Tom’s first idea was to dress up as a horse. He put on a mane, a saddle, and tried to look just like his friend, the farm horse. But the farmer took one look and said, “You’re not a horse, Tom!” Disappointed but determined, Tom tried again.
Next, Tom tried to look like a cow. He put on spots, grabbed a bell, and started mooing as loudly as he could. But the farmer saw right through his disguise. “Nice try, Tom, but you’re not a cow!” the farmer chuckled.
Tom didn’t give up. He tried dressing up as a pig, a chicken, and even a sheep! Each time, the farmer recognized him instantly. Tom was running out of ideas—and time!
A Clever Solution
Finally, Tom decided to dress up as something no one would expect—a farmer! He found a straw hat, a pair of overalls, and even held a small rake in his wing. When the farmer saw Tom’s new costume, he laughed out loud. “A turkey farmer? Now that’s a funny sight!” But Tom’s disguise worked! The farmer found it so amusing that he decided Tom would make a much better friend than dinner.
Thanksgiving Day
On Thanksgiving, Tom was safe and sound, enjoying the celebration with the farmer and all his animal friends. His clever thinking had kept him out of trouble, and everyone had a wonderful time.
