It was a dark and stormy night. The wind howled and the rain poured down. The farmer and his family were sound asleep in their cozy farmhouse, unaware of the drama unfolding in the barn.

There, in a cramped cage, a turkey named Tom was plotting his escape. He had overheard the farmer say that he was going to be the main course for Thanksgiving dinner, and he was not going to let that happen. He had been secretly working on a plan for weeks, and tonight was the night.

He had managed to loosen the wire mesh of his cage with his beak, and now he only had to wait for the right moment. He watched as the guard dog, a lazy mutt named Rover, snored on his mat. He waited until Rover rolled over and exposed his belly, then he made his move.

He pushed the wire mesh aside and squeezed out of his cage. He tiptoed past the sleeping dog, careful not to make any noise. He reached the barn door and nudged it open with his head. He peered outside and saw that the coast was clear. He dashed across the yard, heading for the woods.

He felt a surge of freedom as he ran through the wet grass, dodging puddles and branches. He had never been outside the barn before, and everything seemed new and exciting. He reached the edge of the woods and looked back at the farm. He saw a light go on in the farmhouse window, and heard a shout from the farmer. "The turkey's gone! The turkey's gone!" He heard Rover bark and saw him run out of the barn, followed by the farmer with a shotgun. Tom knew he had to hurry. He plunged into the woods, hoping to find a safe place to hide.

He ran deeper and deeper into the forest, until he came across a clearing with a small pond. He decided to stop there and catch his breath. He looked around and saw that he was not alone. There were other animals in the clearing, some of them he recognized from books he had read in the barn. There was a deer, a raccoon, a squirrel, a rabbit, and a fox. They all stared at him with curiosity and suspicion.

"Who are you?" asked the deer.

"I'm Tom," said the turkey.

"What are you doing here?" asked the raccoon.

"I escaped from the farm," said Tom.

"Why?" asked the squirrel.

"Because they were going to eat me for Thanksgiving," said Tom.

"What's Thanksgiving?" asked the rabbit.

"It's a holiday where humans celebrate by eating turkeys," said Tom.

"That's horrible!" said the fox.

"I know," said Tom.

"Where are you going?" asked the deer.

"I don't know," said Tom. "I just want to be free."

"Well, you're welcome to stay here with us," said the deer. "We're all friends here."

"Really?" said Tom.

"Sure," said the deer. "We don't judge anyone by their feathers or fur."

"Thank you," said Tom. "You're very kind."

He felt a warm feeling in his chest. He had never had any friends before, only enemies. He wondered if this was what it felt like to belong somewhere. He smiled and joined the other animals by the pond. They chatted and laughed and shared stories. Tom felt happy for the first time in his life.

Tom had found a new home and a new family. He had escaped from Thanksgiving, and he was free.
