‘Exercise?’ said Tick Tock Turkey, ‘bor-ing. ‘Now let’s go down to the beach, and maybe you can get some exercise and work off some of that fatty chocolate.’
‘And that’s why it’s so special,’ said Future Dog. ‘Tick Tock Turkey, you probably felt ill because you’ve eaten too much! What did I tell you about the Chocolate Tree? It’s very precious and you have to be extremely careful with it.’ It won’t do any harm.’įuture Dog folded her paws crossly. ‘I was just so hungry, I felt ill, and I had to have a tiny nibble. ‘And how do you explain all the chocolate on your beak? And that half eaten bananamato you’re hiding behind your back?’
‘I was just, um, checking how the fruit was getting on. Tick Tock Turkey hopped down from the tree and hung his head. It was Future Dog, and she looked absolutely furious. ‘TICK TOCK TURKEY!’ came an angry voice from below. He stuffed a few berries into his beak and then got to work on a particularly large bananamato. With a loud flap of his wings and a flurry of feathers, Tick Tock Turkey hopped into the branches and started gobbling the fruit. I’m sorry Mister Chocolate Tree – but this is a medical emergency and I need some bananamatoes right now! Doctor’s orders!’ In fact, if I don’t eat something soon, I might faint or get sick. She said if I keep on taking chocolate sauce from the trunk for my sandwiches, and eating all the fruit without letting some fall to the ground, that eventually the Chocolate Tree won’t grow anymore, and there’ll be no more chocolate on Egg Island Ever. ‘But Future Dog told me off for picking things straight from the tree. Tick Tock Turkey’s eyes grew large and his tongue wagged. There had been plenty of rain and sun in the past few days, and the tree had a decent crop of chocolate berries and even some big, stripy, chocolate bananamatoes dangling from its branches. Then his eyes wandered up to the Chocolate Tree. A little bit of chocolate berry? A twig? A leaf? Maybe a piece of bark that’s fallen off?’ He strutted around the Chocolate Tree looking hard at the ground for more chocolate bits. Tick Tock Turkey jumped to his feet and looked eagerly around him. I should stop for a rest, to let the food go down.’ He lay back in the sun, and licked some chocolate from his beak. Future Dog says it’s important to eat enough, but never too much. His belly was packed with chocolate, and his beak and wings were covered in brown chocolate sauce.

Besides, he wasn’t full yet.Īfter a long time, and a considerable amount of gobbling, Tick Tock Turkey sat heavily at the bottom of the tree. Tick Tock Turkey decided they shouldn’t be wasted. The chocolate twigs didn’t taste anywhere near as nice as the berries, or the leaves. When they were finished, he munched the chocolate twigs that lay strewn about the jungle floor.
Once they were all gone, he’d set about eating all of the chocolate leaves that had dried and curled in the sun before wafting gently on the breeze to fall in the shade of the tree. He’d started with the juicy chocolate berries, which were so big and swollen with sugary goodness that they had fallen like chestnuts to the ground.
Tick Tock Turkey had spent the best part of the day in the jungle, steadily gobbling his way through all of the chocolatey bits and pieces beneath the Chocolate Tree. It’s made out of solid chocolate, with hot chocolate sauce in its centre, and it grows chocolate fruit all year round, as long as it has plenty of sun and shade and water. And Egg Island is fortunate enough to have the world’s only Chocolate Tree. White, dark, milky, with nuts, with caramel, any way you like it, chocolate is the best. Wherever you go in the world, and whether you are in the future or the past – not to mention the present – the number one food on everyone’s list is chocolate. Now, why do all these odd things happen to Tick Tock Turkey? The answer is simple: Tick Tock Turkey, and his friend Future Dog, can travel in time, and it usually results in a lot of confusion. And once, Tick Tock Turkey was so desperate to eat that he invented a brand new meal that comes in between breakfast and brunch in the process he managed to create a mysterious egg out of thin air. The Best Sandwich Ever disappeared and then reappeared, which was very strange. He once made the Best Sandwich Ever, but you have to take Tick Tock Turkey’s word for that – no one else got to taste it. Of all the animals on Egg Island, none of them thought about food more than Tick Tock Turkey.
