The Hungry Duck

A long time ago in a far away place called Turkey Town, on Cinnamon and Hungry Streets, lived two families.

On Hungry Street, there were four people in the family, Christina the mom, David the dad, and the kids, Clara and Philip.

And on Cinnamon Street, there were four people too, Jane the mom, James the dad, and the kids, Sarafina and Alvy!

In the Barins house, Philip was telling a joke to Clara.

“Why was the turkey the drummer in the band?”

“I don’t know,” Clara said.

“Because he had drumsticks!”

The family went for a walk and saw a new family so they got to know each other. The Barin family said, “Do you want to come to our farm and catch our turkey and have Thanksgiving together?

“OK!” Everybody yelled.

Meanwhile on the farm, Azalia the turkey asked Daffy Duck if he could help him. “Of course I can buddy old pal!” Daffy exclaimed.

“I need to be as skinny as a piece of paper,” said Azalia.

So Daffy helped him. He made him run on a stove, while Daffy ate Boston Cream pie. Then Daffy told Azalia to punch a punching bag that looked like his stomach. The punching bag was jumping, bumping, and pumping everywhere, while Daffy was eating peanut butter sandwiches with jelly on top!

“Five more minutes, and we’ll be there,” yelled Philip and Clara.

“P.U! Somebody farted!” shouted Sarafina!

“Stinky cow manure!” yelled Alvy.

Meanwhile, Azalia rowed a boat with no water, but the water was floating on top of him, while Daffy ate pies, hamburgers, ice cream, and hotdogs! Now the turkey was as skinny as a piece of paper. But Daffy was so plump!

“Oh no, what happened to the farm? hollered the whole family.

Azalia bellowed, “Hide Daffy hide!” Daffy tried to get unfat, but it didn’t work. He tried to row the boat. It just broke. He tried to run on the stove, but it was off, and he went into the shrink box, but he pressed the wrong button and it shrunk around his neck.

“I will catch you! You duck you!”

So David did and put him in a boat. It was actually a stove.

“When will the duck be cooked?” asked Christina.

“It never will be done honey. It blew out 1,036,901 matches,”

David explained.

And the Hungry Street family never had a Thanksgiving again!

The End!
