She would make bouquets and flower wreaths and sell them at the market square. But one day, when Chestnut went on a walk to collect more flowers, she found a big black hill blocking her way.

Catch the Turkeys


Catch the turkeys,

Before they get away!

We need to cook them

For Thanksgiving day!


Get your nets,

Grab your rifles

If we hurry now

We can catch them without trifles.


Hide in the bushes

Hide behind the trees

If we get the jump on them

We can catch them with ease.


Stay very quiet

Don’t make a sound.

The turkeys are getting closer,

They’re coming around.


Get your nets ready

And your rifles too.

On the count of three, now.

One, two–


Bang! Great job!

You got ‘em!

Now get your sacks

And let’s all bag them!


It will be great to show off

The fat turkeys we’re bringing.

Let’s have a delicious dinner

And a Happy Thanksgiving!
