THE GREAT BIG ENORMOUS POTATO

        Long ago an old man planted a potato. “Grow big,” he said to the potato. “Grow strong.” And the potato did grow – VERY BIG and VERY STRONG.

        When the harvest time came, the old man held onto the great big enormous potato leaves and pulled and pulled and pulled. But the potato would not come out.

        The old man called his wife. The wife pulled the old man and the old man pulled the potato. But the potato would not come out.

        The old woman called the cat. The cat pulled the wife, the wife pulled the old man, and the old man pulled the potato. But the potato would not come out.

        The cat called a little bird. The little bird pulled the cat, the cat pulled the wife, and the wife pulled the old man and the old man pulled the potato….

        … and POP! Up came the potato. That night there was potato soup for everyone, with an extra large portion for the little bird.
