“Beware of man eating turkey! He will eat humans for Thanksgiving, instead of them eating him!" Sam the turkey said.
"What? Well, now you are acting like Chicken Little when he said the sky was falling," said Bill, his brother.
"No, it's true!!"
"I'm busy right now planting flowers for mom's Thanksgiving,"
Sam ignored his brother and said, "Come on. Let's go to the man eating turkey’s house! You ready?” Sam asked.
"Sure," Bill said.
“Let's go!" Sam said.
They walked along the pass. Signs were saying "Beware of a man eating a turkey," but they never stopped. Finally, they got to the gate of the yard. They rang the bell. No one answered, so they went in.
“This place is spooky,” Sam said.
They slowly stepped in. It seemed like forever until they finally got to the front door. Another doorbell was on the door, so they rang it. A crackly voice answered, "WHO IS IT?”
“Uh, it’s…” Sam answered.
“It’s Bill and Sam,” Bill said. “We’re turkeys.”
The being on the other side opened the door, took them inside and ate them. It ended up it was a man eating a turkey after all.
