ceit.
And when Thanksgiving time came
around. the owner of the turkeys came
among them, AK in hand.
Whereupon all the others that were
Jealous of ire proud, fat turkey said
at last it would get what was coming

But the proud, fat turkey only strut

than ever. And It's owner said:

send it to the turkey show and take
a ribbon"
Which he did
