Hi my name is Adam the turkey. I live in Israel. I love it there because I can gobble at people so they won’t make me for dinner.
One day one hunter was trying to choke me. So he could make me for dinner. I ran like crazy but I couldn’t run away from that freak until I went under a farmer’s fence. Then the hunter tried to shoot me. I ducked for my life. He missed! I was so relieved that he missed.
I went to the pen where all the turkeys lived. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my long lost brother. Then he saw me. I said, “Let’s get out of here”. My brother said “No” I said “Why not”. Then my brother said “Never mind let’s get out of here”. Then the hunter came back. He shot my brother. Then I jumped in the way. Then I felt a strong pain in one of my legs. I fell to the ground with a bang. Then one of my best friends named William came out of nowhere. He bit the hunter in the face and the hunter ran away. I couldn’t believe that one of my friends saved my life.

Hi my name is Betty. Thanksgiving is coming in a few days. I am nervous because all the other turkeys got caught, even the fastest turkey got caught by a turkey hunter.
That night I was sound asleep, then I woke up by the sound of rushing bushes. I decided to look around the forest. I saw a turkey hunter. I guess he wanted me as Thanksgiving dinner. I ran like a maniac but that didn’t help, he caught me. I tried to get away but he held on to me really tight so I couldn’t get away.
The next day I was freezing because he put me in the freezer. A few hours later he took me out and put me in a oven, I think that’s what it is called. He closed the oven. I looked all around. The farmer was gone. I opened the oven. I ran like a chicken all the way out the door. I saw my family, they must have gotten away too. “I am so happy you are here son” said my dad ,”I am too dad” I said, and we hugged.

Once upon a time there was a turkey named Ryder. He was not smart. He never even knew 2+2. He lived by him self. He lived on a farm. He had to escape because it was Thanksgiving in two more days. He was breaking through the fence. He had to escape! He had finished breaking through the fence. He was scared. He got smart and escaped from the farm.

Oh no tomorrow is Thanksgiving dinner. My name is Turk. I’m a farm turkey in Oregon. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving dinner and I’ve thought of a plan. My plan is to if the farmer comes and tries to take me I will gobble as loud as I can and if that would not work I will peck and peck as hard as I can.
Today is Thanksgiving Day. Oh No the farmer is coming for me!!!! The farmer tried to grab me but then I remembered the plan. I gobbled as loud I could. The farmer covered his ears and dropped me. I ran but then the farmer got me again. I pecked the farmer. Just then he said “ I’m going to just pick another turkey”! But the good thing is that I told all the other turkeys my plan. So if they get chosen they can do the plan.
And that is how I lived on Thanksgiving with out being eaten.

TURKEY ESCAPE
I would escape by walking to the fence and when they open the fence I would run as fast I could. I run faster and faster as I trip over a rock and they threw me back where I was. So then they were really ready to eat me and I dug a hole and squeezed in there and the man was getting my feet and I ran faster as I could and I was really tired and I still ran faster and I called for HELP and a chicken he helped me and some one called my name. They screamed out loud and I heard. “Squeeze squeeze=http://!!!!”

I would run away from the place and my name is King Googol the King of Turkeys. I am 12 years old. I never went to turkey school and I don’t want to. I love being a turkey but one thing I hate about being a turkey is Thanksgiving. None of us want to get eaten. I am the King. Come on, I don’t want to get eaten.
Suddenly the farmer came out with his gun. That was the end of me I thought. I ran and ran as fast as I could. I ran to Oregon. I got caught again. I’m stuck again.

Hi my name Sally and I am a turkey. I am trying to get out of this house. I am with my mom, dad, sister, and my 4 brothers. The people in this house are trying to eat us for Thanksgiving! We're thinking of a plan to escape.
The day before Thanksgiving the people in the house went to buy things for Thanksgiving.
The people went off with the door open. When we saw the door open we escaped.
That is how we escaped.

One day a turkey named Sam got out of the farm. He wanted to take a walk.
One of his friends named Lola started running toward him with fear in her eyes. “Sam Sam=http://=http://!!!! I heard the farmer talking about killing you for Thanksgiving and serving you on a plate”. Sam stared at Lola. Lola stared at Sam “this is bad” said Lola and Sam.
Sam saw another turkey walking toward them. “It’s my twin brother Kevin, he is mean,” said Sam. “Hey little bro what are you doing? I would start running.” “Why,” said Sam. “Because I led the farmer to you”. Sam started running. He heard gunshots. He ran faster and faster. His bro laughed, “Ha you better run faster.” Sam pushed his bro. His bro fell. The farmer grabbed him. He killed him instead and that’s How The Turkey Got Away.

“Chuck you’re home. Where have you been?” “Mom do you know tomorrow’s Thanksgiving and we are going to get hunted down? What will we do mom, I’m scared”. “We all are right." “Now where will we go?” “First the family’s thinking about escaping this barn tonight”. “What if I sleep in and I don’t want to wake up”? “At nine o’clock we will go quietly”.
NINE O’CLOCK STARTS. “We must go now Chuck or we will get shot tomorrow morning”. “Ok you can sleep in only for one hour. If you don’t wake up then we will go”.
“Mom, dad where are you”? “Oh no they left me. I must go before they wake up”. “Hello little, fellow, time to run before I catch you”.
Then he started to run and then he got away from the hunter. Then he saw his mother caught and trying to get away. “Son you must escape. Forget about me, just run. Follow your dad, he can help you. You just need to escape if you don’t want to get eaten for Thanksgiving. Your father is in the woods”. “Chuck, we must go, we can’t help her. We will get killed by the way. Let’s go. We must escape. Your mother’s talented, she’ll get away”.
“Free at last! We have escaped, they will never find us”. “Dad, I see hunters. Let’s go hide so they won’t see us. Let’s hide in the field.”
TWO MONTHS LATER
Mom, there you are. How did you escape”? “Well, they let go of me because I was too small”. “We’ll never get caught again”, I heard.

I will make a trap and run away, if they find me I'll run away. If they catch me I will bite through the bag. It’s night. I will sleep all night. I’ll disguise the cave as leaves and make a home there.

Hi I’m Christopher. I’m nine years old. And this is what I’d do at Thanksgiving if
I was a turkey. I bet you would do this too if you were close to being a feast. So stay and read.
I would escape by running away. Then when no one is around I would go into a ditch, cave, or any place that a human wouldn’t look till Thanksgiving is over.

Once upon a time there were 4 boys. Their names were Adam, Ben, Colton and William. They were also brothers and they went to their grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving. When they all had dinner everyone had a big turkey that ran away. Then they ate some ice cream instead.
The next morning they drove to the beach and played tag in the sand. They went home and ate breakfast. Then they went to have lunch and dinner. At dinner the turkey came back and said gobble gobble and ate all their food and left. But then the hunter came and the turkey ran. The hunter’s name is The Killer.
The next morning the hunter ran and tried to kill the turkey but the turkey was too fast for the hunter but he still tried and the turkey hid and took a stick and hit the hunter with the stick and took the gun and ran away with it. The boys and their family called more hunters but they could not catch the turkey because he was too fast for them all.

Oh-no! I’m going to be Thanksgiving dinner because it’s almost Thanksgiving. Farmer Jones lives on a turkey farm with me and some friends and family. He’s thinking about killing me, my mom, my dad, my sister, my brother and my best friend.
Oops! I forgot to tell you my name! My name is Sally. I think you already know that I’m going to get killed by farmer Jones. Some family and friends are going to get killed with me.
Oh-no! I just got caught by Farmer Jones and he is putting me in the oven ALIVE! I just heard Farmer Jones say “that turkey will be tender in 5 hours” I feel hotness in this oven. Oh-no I’m roasting. I’m turning brown. I’m dying. I better push the door open! YES! I opened the door. Now I must run out of this place. Get out of the house. Ya! I’m free! I’m free! I’M FREE!!!! Now bye-bye I mean BYE!!!!

If I was a turkey I would try to get of the family that was going to eat me. I would try to dig a hole and dig my way out. But if that doesn’t work out then I will make another me and paint it so it looks like me. Then I will make it sound like me and then I will bust my way out of there. And they will eat the fake me and I will be free in the wild!
I just hope I don’t get eaten. I would like to walk around the world to see what is in the world. Like I would like to go to Seattle and visit my friend Tom, Corey, and mom. It would be nice to see them again.

If I was a turkey and I was about to get eaten I would wait until no one was looking and escape.
I am a little turkey and I have two brothers, a sister, a mom, a dad. We are all together. We live in a vinerd. I am the second youngest. It goes in this order. Mom, Dad, Jalon, Juwan, Me, Zakeya. Me and my sister are twins and 9 years old, Jalon is 14, Juwan is 12, Mom is 33, Dad is 33. We are a happy family.
We went across country. Someone found us and took us to their family’s house to cook us. Before they could get the material when he turned around we escaped.
When he turned he looked through the window and saw us running.
He came running after us but he was too slow to catch us so he had nothing else to cook.
He went shopping the next morning and got a turkey and other good things.
We spent our Thanksgiving with our family. It was great instead of cooking things we played games.
We never got captured ever again.
We were very happy because of that very day on Thanksgiving Day.
My dad was very sad when Thanksgiving Day was over because he loved eating and spending time with his family and friends and so were we all. My mom thought that the day of Thanksgiving was the best day of the year because you eat and have a family gathering.
