And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from King James, that all the world should eat Turkey. And all went to eat fowl, every one into his own city. And the Pilgrims also went up from the London, out of the country of England, into America, unto the city of Plymouth, which is called Rock, to gorge themselves with Pocohantas, being with bird. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth a succulent Turkey, and wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and laid it in a manger; because there was no room for them in the longhouse. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord come upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you breastmeat, which shall be scrumptious to all people. For unto you is cooked this day in the city of Plymouth a Turkey, which is a Butterball. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the bird wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to cranberry sauce in the highest, and on earth stuffing, good mashed potatoes toward men." And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: "Let us now go even unto Plymouth, and see this thing which is to come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." And they came with haste, and found Pocahontas and the turkey lying in a manger, watching football. And when they had gorged themselves, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Turkey. And all that heard it wondered at those candied yams which were told them by the shepherds. But Pocahontas kept all these things, and pondered the giblets in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising Butterball for all the things that they had eaten, as it was fed unto them.
