The Enormous Turnip!

Here is the story we have been learning! Today Badgers went to Abacus to show the little ones our story!

Can your child tell you the story?

Once upon a time there was a little old man who grew an enormous turnip

Early one morning he decided to pull up the turnip to make turnip soup.

So, he pulled and he pulled and he pulled. But the turnip would not budge. Next he asked his wife, Sue to help.

So, Sue pulled the man and the man pulled the turnip. But still the turnip would not budge. Next he asked his son to help.

So, the son called Andrew pulled the woman and the woman pulled the man and the man pulled the turnip. But still the turnip would not budge. Next he asked his daughter to help.

So, the daughter, called Kate pulled the son and the son pulled the woman and the woman pulled the man and the little old man pulled the turnip. But still the turnip would not budge. Next he asked the smelly dog to help.

They pulled harder and harder, but the old man pulled the hardest.

Finally, the enormous turnip came flying out of the ground as fast as a rocket and they all fell down with a loud BANG!

After that they had spicy turnip soup for dinner, they put in carrots, onions and bunches of parsley, but the son and daughter were unhappy because it tasted disgusting!
