If a turkey walks by and tells me to buy a chiken instead I would be a little freacked out. But If a turkey would do that I would listen to it because if it can talk I wonder what else it can do. Also if I dont listen to it might hurt me and I dont want to get hurt by a turkey, so I would by a chiken instead.

No I would not want to be a famous athlete or movie star because you would never get an privacy. You cant goout to eat or hang at the mall or just go hang out with you family or friends because people would not leave and they would fallow you around all the time.

A turky walks by and says,"Put thats down and buy a chicken instead." I would say to it,"Well I'm sorry but it's not Thanksgiving if you don't have a turkey. Then I would take a video of it talking and put it on YouTube.

If I had to choose between a athete or a movie star I would choose a movie star because I think it would be more exciting. Also it would be less doing things such as a athlete has to do. Thats why I would choose a athlete.

If a turkey told me that I would say "okay" and turn around. Then turn around relly fast and knock the turkey out dead so I can have two turkeys and then a chicken too.

as I am shopping for a turkey for my Thanksgiving meal, a turkey walks by and says, "Put that down and buy a chicken instead." So,I put down the turkey down,shocked, and walk towards the chickens. Out of no where a chicken walks by and says " Put that down and buy a ham instead.Completly amazed, I silently head near the ham. A pig jumps out and says "Hey! pigs have feelings too.Make a salad!" Terrified I run out of the store terrified, but when i tell the police they think I am insane and was stuck in an asilum for the next 5 years.

I would like to be a famous movie star, But too much drama Is attached to that to many people wanting to met you. You can be private about anything you do u always need a body guard or something like that to be there when u go somewhere even If u want to be alone you cant. There's good things and bad things about beening a famous movie star, But I would still love to be one seeing my names on the bill boards, my face on the screen I would love It to the fullest.

I want to be an athlete because you can be famous

I wouldn't like to be a famous person because they never have any time to them slef. They always have to look behind them,and are never aloud to go out as themself. Being famous sounds like a lot of fun but its isn't its a lot of work and you have to follow a lot of rule, as if being a teen doesn't have to many rules as it us.

I think the thing that would happen next would be that the turkey would sit back down,and I would pick it up,and buy it.The next day I didnt cook it I put it in a cage, so I could keep it as a pet.

I think that the person will buy the chicken and the chicken will talk to the person and say dont eat me I can be your pet and the prson says ok.

I would rather be a famous athlete than movie star beacause from what i see athlete's make more money. Another reason i would rather be a athlete is that I have experience with doing that. being a famous atlet kids whould look up to me and say "I want to be just like him when i grow up" that would make me proud.

I think whats going to happen is that i would knock it out and run away.
