It’s almost Thanksgiving.
Turkey is in trouble. Bad trouble.
Turkey doesn’t want to be a roasted turkey for Thanksgiving Dinner!
Turkey has an idea!
What if he doesn’t look like a turkey? What if he looks like a horse?
Surely Farmer Jake doesn’t eat a horse for Thanksgiving Dinner!
Look at Turkey in his horse costume! Turkey looks just like a horse…… almost.
“Moo moo,” says Cow. “Stop being a horse, Turkey!”
“How do you know it's me?” grumbles Turkey.
“You’re too short!” says Cow. “Gobble Gobble,” grumbles Turkey.
Looking at Cow gives Turkey a new idea!
Surely farmer Jake doesn’t eat a cow for Thanksgiving Dinner!
Look at Turkey in his cow costume. His costume isn’t bad! He looks just like a cow….. almost.
“Oink oink!” says Pig. “Stop being a cow, Turkey!”
“How do you know it's me?” grumbles Turkey.
“You’re too skinny!" says Pig
“Gobble Gobble,” grumbles Turkey.
Looking at Pig gives Turkey a new idea!
Surely farmer Jake doesn’t eat a pig for Thanksgiving dinner!
Look at Turkey in his pig costume! His costume isn’t bad! He looks just like a pig…. almost.
“Baaa Baaaa!” says Sheep. “Stop being a pig, Turkey!”
“How do you know it's me?" grumbles Turkey.
“You’re too clean!” says Sheep. “Gobble, gobble," grumbles Turkey.
Looking at Sheep gives Turkey a new idea.
Surely farmer Jake doesn’t eat a sheep for Thanksgiving Dinner!
Look at Turkey in his sheep costume! His costume isn’t bad! He looks just like a sheep …….almost.
“Cock-a Doddle-do!” says Rooster. “Stop being a sheep, Turkey!”
“How do you know it's me?” grumbles Turkey.
“You’re too brown!” says Rooster. “Gobble Gobble,” grumbles Turkey.
Looking at Rooster gives Turkey a new idea.
Surely Farmer Jake doesn’t eat a rooster for Thanksgiving Dinner!
Look at Turkey in his rooster costume! His costume isn’t bad. He looks like just a rooster.
Farmer Jake comes into the barn
“Turkey, turkey, turkey! Come out!”
“Where's the turkey?" asks farmer Jake’s wife.
“I don’t know! I can’t find the turkey!”
“Oh dear! What will we do without a turkey for Thanksgiving?”
“Well, we can always eat the rooster!”
“Oh no! not the rooster!” grumbles Turkey.
Turkey looks everywhere in the garden and he can see mushrooms, peppers, onions and tomatoes. It gives Turkey a new idea!
Look at his new costume! His costume isn’t bad! He’s a pizza delivery boy!
“Ding Dong!” Farmer Jake opens the door. “Happy Thanksgiving!”
“A pizza for Thanksgiving Dinner! It’s a good idea!”
So they all sit down and eat the pizza, and it’s Turkey’s best Thanksgiving!

A reading of the poem...

We, my father, mother, sister and I, drove to church in a neighborhood village. We arrived thirty minutes early. The mass began on time at 10 o'clock. Normally only one person holds the mass, but today the dean from Freiburg was here. He is the so-called donor of the confirmation. I am my sister's elder, so I should lay my right hand on her shoulder during the actual process. The dean laid his one hand on top of her head, and with the other he made the sign of the cross on her brow.
After mass we went home and ate cake with our grandparents. At 3 o'clock we watched "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", but before the movie started, we needed to see the trailers or close our eyes for forty (did you mean four?) minutes. "Catching Fire" was a little bit long, nevertheless I liked it. I can't wait for the last part, "Mockingjay". I hope that they don't make two movies out of one book, like the last novel of the "Harry Potter" series.
Then after that we ate Asian food for dinner. I got spring rolls and beef with cooked rice, vegetables and Thai curry sauce. The rice, the vegetables, and the sauce tasted good, but the beef was tough.
I hope you enjoy my little report. I hope to see you again!
