Now, let's get ready to begin our story!
On the night before Thanksgiving a TURKEY sat upon a ROCK wondering what to serve its guests for supper the next day.
It planned to invite its friend TURTLE, who liked to come out of its shell for special occasions and FROG who was known to be loud and the life of the party.
TURKEY also planned to invite RABBIT, who liked to nibble its food and bounce around and OWL who spoke slowly, but always knew what to say.
TURKEY really enjoyed eating SPAGHETTI but didn’t have any MEATBALLS to serve.
And as most people know, when eating SPAGHETTI, guests often expect MEATBALLS.
TURKEY didn’t want to be one of those hosts that serve SPAGHETTI without also giving guests the option of being able to eat MEATBALLS.
So, because TURKEY had SPAGHETTI, but did not have any MEATBALLS, it decided to serve TACOS.
At the last party where TURKEY had served TACOS to its friend FROG,
the TACOS grew cold and TURKEY had to put them in the microwave to warm them up.
FROG watched the timer on the microwave from a distance and discovered that when you put TACOS in the microwave, the hard shells sometimes become soft.
So FROG made it a game to count down with the cooking timer as the TACOS flopped to the floor and became FLOPPY TACOS (10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1).
After TURKEY, who was sitting on a ROCK, thought about this all for a while,
TURKEY looked up to the big full MOON and decided to choose what to serve to its guests in the morning.
