Forrest Gump was lazy.

Forrest Gump was the laziest turkey you ever heard of. The other turkeys were always very busy doing whatever it is that all good turkeys should be doing.

But not Forrest Gump. He was too lazy.

He was too lazy to get out of bed.

"What would I do if I did get up?" he asked. "Make your bed," said the other turkeys, who always made theirs.

"What's the use? I'm only going to get right back in it again," said Forrest Gump.

As you see, he was very lazy.

If he was inside, he was too lazy to go outside.

If he was outside, he was too lazy to go inside.

He was too lazy to go "gobble gobble." And all turkeys go "gobble gobble."

One chilly morning the farmer called the turkeys. "Here turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey!" called the farmer.

All the other turkeys got ready to run to the farmer to see what he wanted. "Come on, Forrest Gump," said the other turkeys.

"I'm going to stay in bed," said Forrest Gump.

"You're so lazy, Forrest Gump. How will you know what the farmer wants?" asked the other turkeys.

"Come back and tell me," yawned Forrest Gump.

"Lazybones," said the other turkeys. They all ran to see what it was the farmer wanted.

The next morning, which was Thanksgiving morning, Forrest Gump looked around the empty barn. "It pays to be lazy," thought Forrest Gump, turning over for a little nap.
