Jim Henson's Turkey Hollow Page #8

Get it off me!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Sheriff! Sheriff...

take me to jail!

I'll go!

I'll go, I'll go...

just...

Just get me outta here.

And you would have got

away with it, too...

if it weren't

for us meddling kids!

Sheriff?

I just wanted to say

thank you for everything.

Always happy to help, Cly.

Let me know

If there's anything else

I can do to you.

For you!

Do for you...

you folks have

a lovely thanksgiving.

Eldridge!

I'll get you out, Eldridge!

You were right.

I know!

They do like each other.

Aunt Cly, I have a question.

Mm?

Where do you think

the monsters went?

Oh, I have a pretty good idea.

They always like

a little sweet gravel

At the end of a busy day.

Want to feed them?

Hmm? No.

I'm... good.

So uncle Ned

made friends with these guys

All those years ago?

Yeah, um...

and then he introduced

them to me,

And then we became family.

You kept them a secret

this whole time?

You could've been famous!

Zorp.

Well, the thing is, Timmy...

your uncle Ned and I...

we were always content

to believe in magic.

I like to think

these little creatures

Are the beautiful offspring

of an enchanted forest,

And that's good enough for me.

Please, burble.

Excuse you.

Plus, can you imagine

the circus we would have

If people knew there were four

cute, cuddly, musical monsters

Living in that forest?

Ha!

Is that why uncle Ned

stopped writing the journal?

We just realized

it was for the best

To let people believe

in the hoodoo.

Plus, it sells t-Shirts.

They say

"all's well that ends well."

I'm not even sure

what that means,

But Shakespeare,

he's never wrong.

The good news is,

the farm was safe at last...

just in time

For aunt Cly's famous

vegan thanksgiving dinner.

No turkey, of course,

And that was just fine

with Tim and Annie,

Who never wanted

to see another turkey again.

Yes, the table was crowded,

And it's about to get

even more crowded...

Oh... hey, sheriff!

Back so soon?

Hey, Cly.

Mind if I come in?

Oh...

Sure, bu... uh...

we were just, just, ah,

Sitting down

to thanksgiving dinner, so...

wow, you clean up good.

Oh, thank you!

You... just...

you look...

I just wanted to stop by

To let you know

That I personally delivered

all of sump's turkeys

Over to dale and Beverly's

animal rescue.

Oh, that was very

thoughtful of you.

Well, thanks for letting me

know that. I'll...

mm-Mm-Mm...

something sure does smell fan...

Just something vegan!

It's...

there you have it!

There you have it.

Okay...

well, sheriff...

I believe you know

the Emmersons.

And this is squonk, burble,

zorp, and thrinng.

Thrinng!

What the heck are they, Cly?

They are monsters, Grover.

They are magical,

musical monsters.

But luckily,

they're very friendly,

So come on in and sit down.

Okay.

Hey, Ron, can we pull up

a chair for the sheriff here?

Hey, sheriff!

There we go...

just, uh, go with it.

Get you set up here.

I'm pretty sure

You're going to want

a little wine.

Uh, yeah.

All right!

Sheriff...

thank you.

Would you care for some beets?

I'd like to make a toast.

To our dad and aunt Cly,

for rescuing us.

Yeah!

I've never been

more proud of my family.

Aw...

that goes double for aunt Cly.

Just when things

were getting dark,

She... showed me the light,

With a little help

from uncle Ned.

To Ned.

So, uh...

they're, uh, musical monsters?

Oh, yes!

They're very, very talented.

Would you like to see?

All right, come on.

Hit it, boys!

One, two...

one, two, three...

zorp, zorp, zorp, zorp...

thrinng!

Well, there you have it.

Another magical thanksgiving

in turkey hollow,

A place

where legends come to life,

Truth is stranger than fiction,

And people and monsters

live together

In peace and harmony.

Also, I just want you

all to know

That no turkeys were harmed

In the making

of this production.

Happy holidays.

Burble, burble, burble!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha-Hah!
