Tom the Turkey was on his way to the feed barn for lunch with his brother Timmy, his sister Jima, and their dad David. The turkeys hoped they beat the chickens to the feed barn because the chickens always ate all the food though the turkeys left some for them. They walked for some time. Finally they reached the feed barn. They noticed immediately that the chickens were not there yet.

"Let's eat all of the food this time," said Jima.

"No!" David said in his croaking voice. "We don't need to make enemies out of those stinking chickens."

The family ate their lunch and started home. On the way home Tom thought, "The chickens should have been there first because they're closer and they can walk faster. Are the chickens up to something?" Then it hit him, "They are up to something," he thought.

He stopped and said to his family, "I'm going to the chicken house to see what those miniature Frankensteins are up to."

"Why?" asked Timmy.

Then Tom told them what he thought.
