The early winter storm was much worse than the forecast. In the 1950s, 31 was frequently a best-guess science.
“Sweetheart,” Dad said to Mom, “I’ve got to 32 bed and check on the turkeys (火鸡).” When Dad left the house, Mom 33 that he would not be able to make it to the farm, 34 the snow was hitting the little white wooden house at 40 miles per hour.
At 7 a. m., Mom was ready to call for 35 when Dad’s truck came into the driveway. Dad, back home 36 outside, nearly fell down on the kitchen floor. “ 37 Priest (牧师) Gurney,” he said. “Have him tell people at church to come up to the farm and get a 38 turkey for Christmas dinner.”
“Near as I can tell, we have 500 frozen birds,” Dad continued, shaking his head in 39 . “Give me a minute to get 40 and cleaned up.” With seven children to feed, he knew what the 41 would mean.
That morning Priest Gurney spread the sad 42 . Then he called other local priests and let them 43 their friends and neighbors where they could get a turkey with no charge.
As the sun came out, hundreds of cars drove up the 44 road to the Fowler farm. Every turkey was 45 . Nearly all of the birds, which still had to be cleaned, were paid in cash. When people realized our 46 had been solved, they talked and even laughed 47 . Someone placed a donation box on Dad’s truck. More money was 48 than the birds would have cost at the store.
Mom and Dad finally stopped 49 as they counted hundreds of dollars and hundreds of friends. We couldn’t thank these 50 people enough.
