Turk Story

Item #5132

(November, 1990) The Mushroom  Folk are found in the forest where Woodspirits live. When we humans walk through the woods, these tiny people run around so that we see only mushrooms. But Woodspirits know how to find the special personalities of all living things. The Mushroom Folk love food and like to try new recipes. Florentina has an Italian coin and she loves Italian food. Creola’s coin is French and she specializes in Cajun cuisine. Salisbury has an English coin and he likes to make Salisbury Steak. Turk’s coin shows a turkey because his favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. He’s been working like a Turk in the kitchen all day, and his mushroom cap has withered. When any meal, no matter how simple, is prepared with love, the Mushroom Folk will doff their hats to the cook.
