THETURKEYSPLEA
Scene One – Ronald the Turkey appearing before the U.S. Senate
Hi, my name is Ronald and I am here today to talk for my kind (the turkeys). We do not like getting eaten for Thanksgiving every year . Why do you eat us ?You should eat fish, rabbits, or mice. Here are some reasons for you to not eat us. First, if you keep eating us we will cease to exist. Second, we are valuable birds, for example, we gave the inspiration to Leonardo de Vinci to paint the Mona Lisa. We also came up with the idea for the computer and many more. Would you want such historic birds to become extinct? I also think that you are being really mean creatures, as my kind say, imagine that five of your friends every year were eaten by turkeys. How would you like that? My last and final reason is that if you don’t agree with me, I will gather all my fellow turkeys and launch a protest! Then Ronald left.
Scene Two – Turkeys’ Protest
The next day the Senate told the turkeys they did not agree with him and were still going to eat the turkeys. So the turkeys launched a protest and soon overwhelmed the Senate. So now every year on Thanksgiving they eat mice.
THE END
