About This Story
The Giant Turnip
A man is harvesting his vegetables when he finds a giant turnip in their garden. It is so big that everyone in his family comes to help pull it out–wife, children, and the family dog! They pull, and they pull, but the turnip doesn’t budge. Then…a wee mouse scampers over to help, and they pull, and they pull…and the turnip comes out!
