Plot Summary:Married contrary to her father's wishes, the daughter is disowned by the father. She is now a widow with a little boy named Jack and, very much impoverished, she appeals to her father for aid; he refuses to help her and so informs her. An old farmer on his way to market with several crates of poultry stops at the widow's home, asks for a drink of water, which is given him by Jack. The boy is very much attracted by the poultry and takes a particular liking to a little turkey, which the farmer gives to Jack as a present. Jack is delighted with this little turkey, names him \"Drumsticks,\" and makes a pet of him. There is nothing too good for the \"turk,\" which grows under his master's care and attention to be as fine a specimen of gobbler as ever stood on two legs or sounded a \"gobble-gobble.\" Thanksgiving Day is drawing near, and \"Drumsticks\" is admired by all who see him. Unfortunately, he comes under the notice of the landlord when he calls on Jack's mother for the rent, which is overdue. Mrs. Tell cannot meet his demand for the money and he insists upon taking \"Drumsticks\" in payment for the rent. Poor \"Drumsticks\" is sacrificed, plucked and dressed, and while awaiting the arrival of the landlord, little Jack, who is heartbroken at the loss of his turkey friend, writes a note asking the person who gets \"Drumsticks\" for Thanksgiving dinner to write him (Jack Pell) if he is tender, attaches this note to one of \"Drumstick's\" legs, and the bird is carried away to the nearest market and placed on sale. We little know what a day may bring forth, and what we lose one way may be made up in some other way. It so happens that Mrs. Pell's father buys the turkey and has it sent to his home. The hired girl finds Jack's note, shows it to Jack's grandfather, who at first feels resentful, but gradually thaws as he thinks of those of his own flesh and blood and with whom he has been so severe. His whole manner changes; he gets into his overcoat, orders his horse and sleigh, puts \"Drumsticks\" into a basket and hurries to his daughter's home, asks her forgiveness and hugs her and her little boy, then points to \"Drumsticks,\" asking them to come home and share the Thanksgiving dinner and make their home with him. It does not take them long to get ready, and he takes them in his sleigh to his own fireside, where we see them seated around the table giving thanks and having a jolly good time, while they feast on \"Drumsticks.\" Little Jack cannot forget his pet, takes a little toy turkey which his grandfather has given him for a Thanksgiving present, and erects a little monument in loving memory of \"Drumsticks,\" who gave him so much joy and was the means, after all, of bringing him and his mother so much happiness and good luck.
