Nate the Great Talks Turkey

Nate the Great Talks Turkey

Chapter One My name is Nate the Great. I am a detective. My dog, Sludge, is a detective too. This morning we did not have any cases to solve. We were eating breakfast and listening to the radio. I was eating pancakes. Sludge was eating a bone.

It was a nice, quiet, tasty morning. “ There is not much news on the radio, ” I said to Sludge. Sludge kept crunching his bone. Suddenly I heard something. “ A giant turkey is sitting on a car in a supermarket parking lot. The people inside the car cannot get out. There is panic in the parking lot. ” “ Do you believe that?” I asked Sludge. Sludge looked puzzled. I heard a knock at the door. I got up and opened it. Claude was there. Claude is always losing things. He is one of my best clients. “ I found something, ” he said. “ You found something?” I asked. “ Yes. ” “ Tell me about it, ” I said.

“ Well, ” Claude said, “ I was walking in Deering Woods about three hours ago and I found this really big turkey.

Big feathers, big feet, big everything. He started to follow me, but then I lost him. So, can you find him?” “ Actually, I believe I can, ” I said. “ But why would you want him?” “ Well, that turkey made me think about Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day is terrific. ”
