Turkey Trick Ends in Missing Bird and Shady Note
Boggles plans a corn fed eighteen pound turkey for Thanksgiving costing one dollar fifty five cents. The turkey escapes, roosts in a tree, causes damage in a neighbor’s yard, and leaves a note from a man named Nick Waxgn claiming thanks and taking the bird. Boggles buys a replacement to salvage the holiday meal.
