Tom, the Turkey hero
When Tom saw farmer Bob sharpening his ax, he went to his secret lab. He called his friends and they came to Tom’s secret lab. They had some ideas to stop farmer Bob and they tried them. Here are the ideas.
One of the turkeys designed a human turner device. It took two days to make. Tom had a tally of days left and the rating of the machines the other turkeys had made. Here is the check board.

Human turner rank: 6
Days left till Deathsgiving: 5
Helpfulness: 8

After they tried the human turner, it didn’t work. Then they tried some other ideas such as scaring the farmer away from the farm, blowing up the barn and changing the people’s calendars. All of those didn’t work, and they only had one day left. All of the turkeys were very worried. Then Tom had an idea! They would build a machine to destroy Deathsgiving forever! When they were done, it was nine o’ clock in the night. They were running out of time. The turkeys wanted to destroy Deathsgiving, but they couldn’t because somebody had to risk their life to make the machine work. Tom said he would. After all Tom haven’t been very helpful. When they blasted the destroyer, Deathsgiving was gone and so was Tom.
So thanks to Tom, the world for turkeys is safe. And all of the turkeys lived happily ever after.

Tom the Turkey
By: Nathan Chan

Tom the turkey had to act fast. Next week in seven days was the day that was the day that was the bane of all the turkeys, Thanksgiving. Yesterday he had seen Farmer Bob sharpening the ax and he knew what that meant. If he didn’t do something both he and his friends would definitely be at Thanksgiving dinner.
So this is what he did. He got into his favorite secret agent suit. Then he called for the other turkeys. Once he gathered all the turkeys he made a plan.
On Thanksgiving evening before Bob went to kill the turkeys he got all the chickens. Then Farmer Bob came in and got splattered with eggs. Then they ran away so they could be free. Free I tell ya!

The End

Tom the Turkey had to act fast. Next week, seven days, was the day that was the bane of all turkeys, Thanksgiving. Yesterday he had seen farmer Bob sharpening his axe, and he knew what that meant. If he didn’t do something both his friends would definitely be at Thanksgiving dinner if he didn’t stop him. Tom whipped out a sickle, sliced the axe in half, and started to sharpen the sickle.
Tom had just finished sharpening the sickle by the time farmer Bob got another axe. They fought , and fought, and fought, and fought, and fought until Tom cut off Bobs head.
Everyone lived happily ever after.
The End

Tom the Turkey was scared. Thanksgiving was coming up and that was when most of the turkeys died. Tom decided to do something about it.
Tom ran and looked in the window. He saw some hunting guns. Tom decided to run into the forest. In the window Tom saw Farmer Bob sharpening his ax. Seven days till Thanksgiving. Tom ran back to where he slept.
The next morning he had his plan to just run. So he slept.
Five days later was the day. So he got everybody and ran. Today was supposed to rain. So they ran out in the rain and looked up. They had their mouths open, and… they drowned.

He would have to get all of the animals together and form a plan. The only problem was that he didn’t know the plan and he only had seven days! So he got all the animals together to think of a plan. Everyone started to yell out ideas. Soon after the meeting, Tom had an idea that might work. It was that he would get the strongest rams and cows to take down the fences.
A couple of days later, only two days left, he got the animals together for another meeting. He told everyone the plan that he thought of. The next day, only one more day left, all the animals did the plan that Tom the turkey planned. Everyone including Tom was hoping the plan would work. Tom got on a ram. When they busted the gate they were all free! Everyone was happy. They danced and cheered because they were free. They also danced and cheered for Tom and his wonderful and intelligent plan.

Tom the Turkey
It was that time again. It is thanksgiving. Tom was upset. He had a meeting with all the turkeys. He had a plan in mind.

All the turkeys ran into the fence until it broke. The turkeys were free. Unfortunately, the farmer made another one. This time it was metal.

Tom had another idea. The turkeys jumped over the fence. The farmer had no more materials to build another fence. The turkeys were free. Suddenly the turkeys were zapped and died.

Tom the Turkey
Tom the Turkey had to think fast. Next day, in seven days, was the bane of all turkeys, Thanksgiving. Yesterday, he had seen Farmer Bob sharpening the ax, and he knew what that meant. If he didn’t do something, both he and his friends would definitely be at the Thanksgiving dinner….

Tom spied on Farmer Bob some more, and Farmer Bob started to sing the song that every turkey knew. Suddenly, in the middle of the song, Bob’s son burst out of the house and said,
“Dad! It ain’t time to kill turkeys, it time to eat lunch! Yaw can do that later!”

So Farmer Bob went inside. It was time for Tom to spring into action! He ran out from the bush and got the sharpened ax from the stool. He ran back to his sister Lucy and showed her the ax, she fainted. Tom thought fast and slapped Lucy in the head. Lucy quickly stood up and called Tommy, their dad.

Tom was in big trouble. Suddenly, Farmer Bob picked Lucy and Tommy up and put them into the cutting trap, they were to be killed in six days. Tom squawked and squawked but Bob ignored him. The next day, Tom told the whole colony. The colony started making up a plan, they would make a human looking doll controlled by six turkeys. It took them the rest of the day to finish the doll.

The next day, the six turkeys went into the doll. They opened the cutting sack and took out the two turkeys. Suddenly, Bob came out of the door, and luckily ….they fell into the bush.

The next day, they devised a plan.
The next day, they built the plan.
The next day, they got the team to work.
Finally, the team practiced.

The next day was Thanksgiving. Everyone went into their suits of five human looking dolls. They ringed the doorbell. When Farmer Bob opened the door, they unzipped their suits and jumped out at everyone! The turkeys had won TURKEY WAR 1!

Tom the turkey had to act fast. Next week, in seven days, was the day that was the day that was the bane of all turkeys, Thanksgiving! Yesterday, Tom saw Farmer Bob was sharpening his HUGE ax! He knew what that meant. If he didn’t do anything, both he and his friends would be at the thanks giving dinner…
“OH NO! OH GOSH!” said Tom! “What are we all going to do!!” Tom had to think fast! He had to think of a plan! A smart plan! (To tell the truth Tom wasn’t all that smart: dumb you would say…not even as smart as a second grader!)
“Calm down, Tom!” said his twin Tommy.
“Sorry! I’m just worried! I don’t want any of us being cooked
or killed at all!!! I’m too young to be eaten!” said Tom.
“I got it!” said Tommy. “Just the night before Thanksgiving Day, we both escape into the forest near by the farm and live there!”
“Great idea! HOW!!!???” said Tom.
“We squeeze through the turkey coop door on the side!” said Tommy any.

The Next Day…
“(Yawn!)”awoke Tom and Tommy.
“Are you (yawn) sure we both cam fit in the door?!” said Tom.
“Yes! Of course!” said Tommy.
“Of course,” said Tommy.

Days Pass until…
“Thanksgiving Day!” said Tom. So he and Tommy went to the woods in order to escape being dinner. After a couple of minutes, Tom and Tommy were watching the farmer to see who’s going to be cooked and killed.
Although there wasn’t any cooking or killing, there was freeing.
“Hey!” said Tom, “Nobody’s getting killed or cooked! There going free.” What both turkeys saw was Farmer Bob chopping the turkey coop! ”Tommy, you bird brain!”
“Hey, I an a bird!” said Tommy.
“Either way, there be a happy ending! Tom said.

Tom the turkey had to act fast. Next week, in seven days was the day that was the bane of all turkeys. Thanksgiving. Yesterday he had seen Farmer Bob sharpening the ax, he knew what that meant. If he didn’t do something, he and his friends would be at Thanksgiving dinner. Oh No!
All his friends were thinking of a plan. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock. “Okay I got nothing.” Tom said. “Yeah me too.” His friends said. They didn’t know what to do. This was a problem. A serious problem!
The next day Tom ran to his friends, he found out an idea. His friends and he would make a pretend turkey that looked dead. Tom thought it would work because the farmer doesn’t have good eyes. He hoped it would work.
It worked the farmer thought it was real. He found out, but he couldn’t catch any turkey. The farmer family had ham and other stuff just not turkey. We will see what happens next year!!

Tom the turkey had to act fast. Next week, in seven days, was the day that was bane for of all the turkeys, Thanksgiving. Yesterday he had seen Farmer Bob sharpening the ax, and he knew what that meant. If he didn’t do something, both he and his friends would definitely be at Thanksgiving dinner.
He called all his turkey friends for a T.S. T.M. Top Secret Turkey Meeting. They discussed the problem with the problem about Farmer Bob. Tom knew that Farmer Bob ate five turkeys each year, but this year he needed ten this year. He needed ten because his parents and his friends were coming to eat with him. They thought of a plan so none of them would get eaten. The best plan came from Tom’s best friend Larry the turkey.
It was the day that Farmer Bob would hunt for turkeys. The plan was simple. The plan was going well. Farmer Bob walked into the forest. Larry the turkey jumped out from behind a tree and ran. As they planed Farmer Bob ran behind him. Then he fell into the pit they made. It was shallow so he got out. The whole day he spent trying to catch turkeys.

Finally, Farmer Bob said, “We are having chicken!”

Tom the turkey had to act fast. Next week, in seven days, was the bane of all turkeys: Thanksgiving. Yesterday, he had seen Farmer Bob sharpening his ax, and he knew what that meant. If he didn’t do something quick, he and his turkey friends would definitely be at the Thanksgiving dinner…

“Five more days until Thanksgiving. Five more days and we’re bound to be dead meat served with gravy on a pumpkin- decorated meat-plate,” Tom the turkey gobbled. He and his turkey friends had been up all day and night for two days, trying to think of a plan to live. Some turkey chicks had been playing around, trying to enjoy their last moments of life. Tom just couldn’t think with all the worry!

“Bee-bop, dee-dee-dee dum,” Farmer Bob hummed. “My turkeys are sure going to enjoy the Thanksgiving dinner. Honey, the turkeys are not going to be killed, don’t worry!” he called to his wife. “I just sharpened my ax to chop off a branch off your peach tree to get peaches for our peach cobbler!” Too bad the turkeys didn’t know that!

Back with Tom, Tom had fallen asleep. All the turkeys had, they hadn’t slept for two days! Tom dreamt that he had saved is turkey friends by eating dirt and mud and when the farmer wasn’t looking, they would spit it out and rinse out the taste with water. Farmer Bob would think that they were poisonous, and wouldn’t want to eat them! Tom woke up and told the others his plan. They loved it and wanted to put the plan in action the day after Thanksgiving.

The day before Thanksgiving Farmer Bob came to the turkeys and yelled:

“Tom! Rory! Carol! All you turkeys, come here!” All the turkeys scurried away. “I won’t kill you! Here are some outfits. Wear the. My wife made them for you! Wear them and you can come to the Thanksgiving dinner! All you turkeys are guests!” Farmer Bob explained the whole story to as if he knew they could talk.

So…the next day, the big day, Farmer Bob, his wife, Tom, and all the other turkeys went to the dinner and ate a whole chicken, mashed potatoes, peach cobbler, sausages, corn, steak, beef, fruit salad, and they drank water. They finished in exactly seven minutes and twenty-four seconds. Yum!

The turkeys had a meeting to know what to do. Tom thought of a plan. On Thanksgiving Eve, when Farmer Bob was going to kill all the turkeys, they attacked. They pecked and bit and flapped at Farmer Bob. Farmer Bob finally escaped. He didn’t know what was happening, but he knew he wasn’t going back there again.

On Thanksgiving Day, all the turkeys thanked Tom for saving them. They had a great feast. And so did the humans, but they didn’t have turkey. Instead they had ham.
