Turkey’s Escape

By Andrew

“Help me!” a turkey screamed.  A farmer said, “Hey! Come back here, you!”  Then the turkey stopped running and had a plan.  He quickly ran to the hay of the farm.  Then he took out a cup.  He put water in the cup but it wasn’t just any kind of water.  It was magic water!  Then the farmer found him! (The water turns humans, objects, and animals into...COWS!)  He spilled the water on the farmer.  Then, In 3 seconds, the farmer was a cow.  Then the turkey ran away!  He was thinking of a place to go to the desert:  to hot for him, Forest: too many wild animals, Zoo: did not want to be in prison.  He did that, but he couldn’t find one (The nearest was 77 miles).  He would never make it unless he had a very, very, very fast car (or a motorcycle). He saw a motorcycle driver driving a motorcycle.  The turkey hid behind an Acacia tree.  He saw it.  It could go 107 miles per hour.  When the motorcycle driver took a break, the turkey jumped onto the motorcycle without permission and drove it out the gate.  He also took the helmet.  (76 miles later), he bumped a rock and broke the motorcycle.  And the turkey got hit to the ground.  Sadly it was now 1 more mile away.  He was too sleepy to go that far.  He got up but then fell back down and snored.  This time he got back up and ran faster than the speed of light!  He bumped into something.  It was prison.  He ran inside and got in a cage.  But it was a cage with an arrested farmer.  “Help me again!” screamed the turkey.  The farmer yelled, “Hey! I’m gonna get you!  Hey! Come back!” and then he was in a cage as food.  Then he realized it was all a dream.  But then a girl named Sally saw the turkey and said, “Hey, mommy! Can we buy this turkey?  Please!”  “Okay, Yes.  And plus, it’s only 1 dollar.  But why?”  “Because it’s the color of a rainbow.  And I love rainbows.”  “NO!!!” screamed the turkey.  This must be a nightmare.  But…it wasn’t.  But he got out.  Then somehow he got transported back in.  And the turkey said, “I give up.”

The Turkey’s Get Away

By Eric

If I was a turkey and a farmer tried to catch me I would hide in his car.  Then when he comes in his car I would bite him in his hand and then I would jump out of his car and run away.  Then when I got to the city I would go into somebody’s house and eat their food and drink all their juice.  I would get out of their house and live in the forest where the farmer can’t get me.

Farmer Alert
