Turkeyella & Me

Turkeyella & Me

A Cinderella Story

I was walking down the road on a last minute trip to the store on the night before Thanksgiving when I passed a scarecrow. It jumped at me! It was just a cat. I got so scared over nothing. I kept on going. When I got to the store something was wrong. There was no turkey!

“NO!” I shouted. “There has to a turkey, I can't go home without one.”

I searched all over town, but it was all gone. No turkey meant turkey dinner(obviously.) Thanksgiving would be ruined. I walked back home with a look of remorse on my face. I smelt the wonderful smell of turkey cooking for tomorrow's feast. Mom is going to kill me. I sat down on a bench in the park. I kicked up dirt and frowned.

“Well now why are you frowning,” said a voice.

I looked up and saw a man.

“Are you talking to me,” I asked.

“Why of course,” He said.

“We won't have turkey tomorrow,” I said.

“Well no worry, no worry at all,” he said.

“No worry. How can you say that,” I said.

“I am a very special person, a very special person indeed,” He said.

“Really,” I said

“Indeed I am the 'Very Odd Brother',” He said.

I had only heard of the “Very Odd Brother” once. I t was in Turkeyella. Turkeyella is a story about a girl who was forced into labor by her evil half-brother and evil father. She was invited to the turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, her half-brother and father stopped from her going. She wept on her door step, and the “Very Odd Brother” appeared. He turned a scarecrow into a giant turkey and her rags into a festive Pilgrims' outfit, but the magic only lasted until midnight. The story goes that she was so festive that the host fell in love with her(Also they had no turkey. Coincidence huh). When the clock cuckooed 12 she ran out and her Pilgrims' hat fell off. The host found it and said whoever it fit on would become his wife. He went all around the land and it fit no one. They all were to small. When he finally fond Turkeyella he married her and they lived happily ever after.

“Are you really the 'Very Odd Brother',” I asked.

“In the flesh,” said the “Very Odd Brother”.

“Wow,” I said.

“Now I want you to get that scarecrow you walked past and I will turn it into a giant turkey,” said the “Very Odd Brother”.

“Will you really?” I asked.

“Absolutely,” said the “Very Odd Brother”.

“Thank you,” I said.

“This will only last till the feast is over tomorrow and if it is not all finished it will turn back into a scarecrow,” he said.

“Thank you,” I said

The turkey was so large I thought we would never be able to eat all of it, but we did.

The End And Happy Thanksgiving
