An Altair IV Thanksgiving Fable
by
Eadie
Come with me as we leave Terra (Sol III “Earth” & moon Sol IIIa)
And orient our ship toward Altair:
We will use the “time sling effect” to go toward to Altair IV (it's in the direction of the galactic center):
We approach Altair IV from the night side:
And swing around the planet to our landing site:
Where we are Greeted by Robby:
Our tour guide informs us that it is just another day on Altair IV:
Some basic facts about the turkey:
Dr. Morbius has learned that the “turkey” used in ancient traditional Krell Harvest feast was called a ”chukaar” (chsu – KAY-arrr) and was quite large:
It doesn’t matter what you like:
Robby makes and serves anything:
(sorry, this isthe best I could make.)
There are enough place mats:
For all of the visitors and Krellings:
With a ”chukaar” there is always plenty of food:
After the feast, everyone can rush to the view plate:
To watch the annual big game against the IDs
Then you can sleep. Pleasant Dreams!
I hope you liked this bit of humor.
We wave good-bye as we return home:
Good Night:
HAPPY THANKSGIVING _________________ ____________

Miss Eadie, this is a wonderful message to All Sci-Fi's members, and I know they loved it as much as I did!
Concerning the FP lunch scene you were not satisfied with, you could (if you wanted to) use this wonderful picture from your An Addendum to Thanksgiving post — which I moved here to Contact All Sci-Fi because it was really sad about not being with the rest of these wonderful Thanksgiving messages!
By the way, did YOU make that amazing picture? If so, I can't quite figure out how you did it. The table settings are NOT the same colors as the actual photograph! And yet, everything else is in black & white!

I found it in Butch's collection of pictures. It was fan made and sent to him by email. _________________ ____________
