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.
