Grandpa planted a turnip and said:
— Grow, turnip, grow sweet and sweet! Grow big and big!
And the turnip grew sweet and big and very giant.
Grandpa went to harvest the turnip: he pulled and he pulled, but he could not pull it out.
Grandpa called Grandma.
Grandma held onto Grandpa,
Grandpa held onto the turnip —
They pulled and they pulled, but they could not pull it out.
Grandma called Granddaughter.
Granddaughter held onto Grandma,
Grandma held onto Grandpa,
Grandpa held onto the turnip —
They pulled and they pulled, but they could not pull it out.
Granddaughter called Rover the dog.
Rover held onto Granddaughter,
Granddaughter held onto Grandma,
Grandma held onto Grandpa,
Grandpa held onto the turnip —
They pulled and they pulled, but they could not pull it out.
Rover called the cat.
The cat held onto Rover,
Rover held onto Granddaughter,
Granddaughter held onto Grandma,
Grandma held onto Grandpa,
Grandpa held onto the turnip —
They pulled and they pulled, but they could not pull it out.
The cat called the mouse.
The mouse held onto the cat,
The cat held onto Rover,
Rover held onto Granddaughter,
Granddaughter held onto Grandma,
Grandma held onto Grandpa,
Grandpa held onto the turnip —
They pulled and they pulled — and out popped the turnip!
And that is the end of the story, and well done to those who listened!
