The Enormous Turnip (1)(とてつもなく大きなカブ)
Once upon a time, in the spring, an old man sowed some rows of turnip seeds in his garden.
As time went by , the rain fell on the seeds and the sun shone down on them, and the turnips began to grow.
Every day , the turnips grew a little bigger.
But one of them grew much faster than all the others.
It grew large, then very large, then huge, until at last it was enormous !
No one had ever seen such a enormous turnip.
One day, the old man fancied a plateful of turnip for his dinner.
He took off his jacket, put on his big boots and went out into his garden.
He gathered up the leaves of the enormous turnip in his two hands, in the proper way, and pulled.
He pulled and pulled with all his might, but he could not up the enormous turnip.
So the old man called to his wife to come and help to pull up the enormous turnip.
The old woman put her arms around her husband's waist.
Then the old man pulled and the old woman pulled.
They pulled and pulled with all their might, but they could not pull up the enormous turnip.
So the old woman called to a little boy to come and help to pull up the enormous turnip.
The little boy took hold of the woman's waist.
Then the old man pulled and the old woman pulled and the little boy pulled.
They pulled and pulled with all their might, but they could not pull up the enormous turnip.
So the little boy called to a little girl to come and help to pull up the enormous turnip.
The little girl took hold of the little boy's jersey.
Then the old man pulled and the old woman pulled and the little boy pulled and the little girl pulled.
They pulled and pulled with all their might, but they could not pull up the enormous turnip.
