Bruce’s Wild Thanksgiving Story

by Bruce Grimes

Tanya and Luke were going up North to their cabin when they got stuck in a rainstorm, and also got a flat tire. They had to call for help, but their cell phone was out of range. They couldn’t reach anyone to help them. Finally, they flagged someone down. It was a tow truck driver. What a stroke of luck for them!

He fixed the flat tire. It took 2 or 3 hours. Tanya and Luke were getting really hungry . . . for turkey! They had been thinking about it all day. Their friend Bruce the award-winning chef was already at their cabin cooking a Thanksgiving feast. Bruce was as good a chef as Gordon Ramsay, but he was a much nicer guy than that hot-tempered celebrity chef. Bruce was so nice he often gave his friends $100 bills. 

When the flat tire was fixed, Tanya and Luke invited the tow truck driver to their cabin for Thanksgiving dinner. The driver, Randy, said yes. He had a really big live turkey in his truck. He chopped off its head so they could have a bigger turkey to eat. They cooked two turkeys at the cabin up North. They cooked one over the fire in the fireplace while Bruce was cooking the other one in the oven.

While the turkeys were cooking, their neighbor and friend Audrey knocked at the door and brought in a bunch of pumpkin pies and banana cream pies.  

Tanya and Luke said, “Thank you so much!” 

Audrey said, “You’re welcome! Can I stay for dinner?” 

After they all ate together, they watched “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” movie together. They watched the Macy’s Day Parade. Everyone fell asleep on a cozy futon and had a dream about traveling to California all together in Randy’s tow truck with a flock of wild turkeys roosting on the back of the truck.
