The Chickens Thanksgiving
One morning, Trouble called the chickens together.  "Today is Thanksgiving," he said.  "We must have a turkey!  Betsy, you and Buffy, News, Clara, Martha, and Harriet will make pumpkin pie.  We will all share it.  Sunny, Fanny and Toot will help me get a turkey!  All the other hens will be helpful and watch the time.  Sunny, Fanny, and Toot, come, let's put our hats and boots on and go find a turkey!"

Later, after the roosters left, the hens were working on the pie.  Sunshine, Fuzz and Lulu showed up and helped with the pie.  Then Pinky, Peep and Amelia brought eggs and they broke them into the batter.

Sunshine screamed, "You're not supposed to put the shell in there!"

The Fuzzettes came and looked.  "It looks fine to us!" they yelled.

At that very moment, the roosters were sneaking up on a big turkey.

"It's a good thing that man didn't see it," Toot whispered.

Trouble shot at the turkey and he flew back about 10 feet!  "Did I get it?" he asked.

"Yes!"  yelled Fanny.

They drug it back and Peep, Sunshine, and Extra Fluff cooked it.  When they finished, they all sat around their meal. 

Trouble said, "Now we will give thanks for this wonderful meal."  And they did and they had a wonderful Thanksgiving.                     ~Olivia
