“Good morning,” said the man in a kind voice to his turkey friend. The bird looked back at him with its head cocked to one side and then ran up to his feet and squawked out a greeting in return. The man smiled down at it, “Hey there, little guy.” He was thankful that he had begun feeding this wild turkey because it meant so much more than just food for the animal; they were friends now! This is what he loved about animals: They could offer such unconditional love. After all, they didn’t care if you were rich or poor, black or white. Animals only wanted your affection and needed nothing else from you but that and food, of course!

He went over to the bird and gave it some food, which his little friend gobbled down right away. He laughed at how hungry the turkey must have been if it couldn’t even wait for him to finish his speech. How cute.
As he was watching the turkey, a loud noise from the sky caught his attention. The man looked up and saw a large military helicopter approaching from behind him. At first, he thought nothing of it until he realized that it was heading straight towards where he was standing with the turkey! His eyes widened as it descended just a few yards in front of them–scaring off the poor bird in the process.
“Whoa! Hey!” said the man as he put out his hands defensively.
“Stop right there!” shouted a soldier, aiming his gun at him. “What are you doing on this restricted military zone?”
The man looked back and forth between the soldiers and their helicopter, then to his turkey that was cowering in the opposite direction of the armed men. A chill ran down his spine as he realized what was happening–the turkey had been part of some secret experiment without the man’s knowledge!
He knew it. It all made sense now. What did they do to my poor little friend? If they harmed even one feather on its innocent head, I’d make them pay.
