The Turkey



The Turkey
Although his gobble-gobble is now to be heard in
every farmyard, it is only a few hundred years since
the Turkey first came to this country. He did not
come from Turkey, as people at one time thought,
but from the Continent of North America, where he
is still to be found in his wild state. Mr. and Mrs.
Turkey are not always on good terms, for when
Mrs. Turkey lays an egg she has to hide it away to
prevent her husband from destroying it. In fact, he
is a tyrant, and is not afraid of anybody, except
Father Christmas.
