The children were
told to think of a disguise a turkey could wear to
avoid being Thanksgiving Dinner. They
wrote a story about their turkey
thinking of a disguise and then using a
basic turkey pattern created their turkey in its
disguise. |
“The Turkey in Disguise” Once upon a
time there was a turkey. The turkey was walking
past a farm yard. He heard the farmer’s wife
yell, “Make sure you get a turkey!” Then the
turkey got scared and ran.
1My turkey dressed up as a peacock. He went to the dollar store and picked up some feathers. Then he went home. He looked like a peacock with bright feathers. It did not work because he did not cover up his feathers and when he ran the farmer saw him. Then that night the farmer went hunting and got him. Then the farmer’s wife asked him if he got a turkey. But the farmer could not hear her until she came out. Then the farmer showed her the turkey. |
“The Turkey in Disguise” The turkey
found out Thanksgiving was coming when an old man was
saying that he needed a turkey. The turkey was
very upset. He did not want to die.
2He went back to his place in the woods. He heard an old man talking to his best friend about Thanksgiving. The turkey got a disguise as a pilgrim. He was walking in the woods. He walked by the old man who was talking about Thanksgiving. The old man said, “What are you doing out here?” The old man invited him to dinner. They were eating dinner when the turkey’s disguise ripped. The old man ate him. |
“The Turkey in Disguise” Once there was
a turkey. He was afraid of Thanksgiving. He was afraid
of people eating him. He thought and thought and
thought and thought. Then he got it.
3He made a turkey in disguise costume. It had bark. It had leaves. It had bugs and birds. It was heavy! The turkey said, “Let’s give it a try.” So he did. When he did, he had a good surprise. The people did not eat him. They did not know he was a turkey. He was so happy. His turkey in disguise costume had worked and he was safe. |
“The Turkey in Disguise” Once there was
a turkey who was living his life. Then he saw a
big billboard. He saw that it said,
“Thanksgiving is coming.” When he saw that he
got worried. He knew what people do at
Thanksgiving-EAT TURKEYS!
4Then he got the idea to be in disguise. He knew that his farmer had a farmer costume. The farmer was out for vacation for the week. He left his work clothes at the barn. So the turkey went to the barn and took the work clothes. He knew people wouldn’t eat a farmer. So he got the costume. He hoped it would work. He put on the costume and walked outside. For some reason everybody was looking at him. He remembered he had to act like a human. The farmer’s family called his phone. The turkey answered the phone. They invited him to dinner. The turkey said ok. When he got there they noticed a smell, a turkey smell. Feathers started to come out of the costume. They started to come closer to the turkey. Then they grabbed the turkey and put him in the oven. Then they all ate him. |

time there was a dumb turkey. The turkey said,
“I’m a dumb turkey. My name is Weirdo. I
know it is a holiday, but what is this holiday,
Thanksgiving?
I think I should dress up as a human in disguise. I think that’s a good idea because no one eats a human unless they are a wolf.” The turkey said, “So far so good.” And the feathers didn’t show at all. But after a few hours her feathers started to show. Then the people realized he was a turkey. Then they ate him. 10
