The ENORMOUS TURNIP

The farmer tugged and tugged at the turnip. The turnip didn't move.
          This is the story that until people get an enormous turnip. One morning, a farmer wanted to a turnip, so he went out to look for one. Then he saw one turnip with very big green leaves, so he tried to pick this one. But he couldn't pick one. His wife was seeing that scene, so she helped him pick the big turnip. But they couldn't pick. After that, their son, a dog, a cat and a bird helped them next to next. All of them tried to pick one.
          I think this story teach us important things about effort and not giving up. If we do so, we can get somethings we want. In addition, in Japan, this story is known as Ookina kabu. I read this story when I was an elementary school student, so many people also may have known this story. however, I don't know last paragraph.
