about everyone on kibbutz.
The kibbutz veterans
hoped that Shira would stay,
now that her army service
was over. So many of their
young people went on to the
university. They met city
boys and girls there and
married them.
On holidays they returned
with broods of children to
feed off the rich kibbutz
table. They hoped Avner
would keep Shira there, and
in turn, Shira would keep
Avner from flying back to
the wealth and luxury that
they imagined waited for
him in Philadelphia.
Not every soldier adopted
by the kibbutz stayed on
after the army, but Avner
had lingered. So the kibbutz
fathers started him off as
they did their own young
people — at the bottom. In
the turkey coops.
The kibbutz had several
coops, but the turkeys were
most profitable. They were
bigger than chickens, so
they gave more meat. They
were hardy and easy to
breed. Unlike cows, they
didn't cost much to feed.
But they were the
stupidest creatures on
earth.
Avner dreaded going in
every morning and hearing
them squawk and sputter as
he prepared their food. The
smell of the coops nauseated
him. The oldtimers said he
would get used to it, but
after six months, his bile
still rose when he reached
the pens.
In the afternoons, he
showered for half an hour to
cleanse himself of the smell.
It amazed him that Shira
never noticed it.
The army had trained her
to run a computer, so the
kibbutz had purchased a
whole system in honor of
her return. To keep the com-
puters running properly,
they'd even air-conditioned
the office.
He would have left by now,
if not for Shira. He'd had
enough of the turkeys and
the winter's damp chill and
the summer's heavy heat.
"Come with me," he
pleaded. "Just for a year or
two. Everyone needs a break
now and then. A change. Ex-
cept for the army, you've
spent your whole life here.
Don't you want to see some
of the world?
"We could find a place in
Jerusalem. Or even Eilat.

Wouldn't you love to live by
the sea? I wouldn't mind
showing you off in Phila-
delphia, either. My mother
would love to spoil you."
Shira kissed him to stop
the words. Despite her wild
hair and dancing black eyes,
Shira's dreams were simple
ones. She wanted to marry
Avner, watch her children
grow up on Kfar Dena and
tend her computer. It was all
she ever wanted.
She stood by the window
and watched him walk down
the path to the coops. His
head was hunched down in-
to his shoulders. She knew
that his jaw was tight, his
eyes sullen. They were in-
vading his sleep now, those
turkeys. She knew he
wouldn't take it much
longer.
"Abba." She cornered her
father as he entered the kib-
butz dining room.
"Just a cup of tea,
Shirala," he begged. "You

He loved Shira's
hair, just as much
as he hated the
turkeys.

know I can't think unless I
have a glass of tea."
"Stay here, Abba. I'll get
it for you."
She led him to a side table,
far from his cronies.
" -You have to talk to Ben-
ny about Avner. You've got
to get Avner out of the
turkey coop."
Leo sighed. He put a sugar
cube between his teeth and
sipped the tea.
"It's not so easy, Shira.
You know how Benny is.
`You have to start from the
bottom. No exceptions.'
Especially for Americans."
"He's going to leave, Ab-
ba." Shira squeezed her
orange until the juice leak-
ed through the cracks. "He
wants me to go with him to
Jerusalem or America. Kfar
Dena is my home, Abba. I
don't want to go."
"So don't." Leo shrugged
his bony shoulders. "You're
a pretty girl, Shira. There
will be other boys."
"Please, Abba. Talk to
Benny. Tell him to put
Avner in the date grove. It's
also hard Ivork picking
dates."
"But it's better than
turkeys." Leo swallowed the
