The Enormous Turnip
One day a man planted turnips in his garden. He waited and waited as they grew and grew. Then the day came when the turnips were big enough to eat so the man went outside to his garden and pulled and pulled. But the turnip would not come up out of the ground. So he called his wife and together they pulled and pulled but the turnip would not come out of the ground. So they called for help from their neighbours and animals, who pulled and pulled until pop the turnip came out of the ground and they all fell back on their bottoms with a bump! Then the man cooked the turnip for tea and shared it with all who had helped liberate it from the ground.
