The parson Šešplaukis had a stomach ache and the doctor prescribed him a diet meets – turkey. The parsons’ servant went to farmer Pusdešris for buying turkeys. Journeyman Stumbras have heard about the reason for which the turkeys are needed and have decided to make fun of it. He spread over the rumour that the turkeys are needed for England Queen. The farmer took in the rumour hoping in a big benefit from England Queen and did not sell the turkeys to parson. Discord surfaced between two well known dwellers of the town.
