BR12 The Enormous Turnip

I read a book for my book review. The story is very famous. A farmer tugged a big turnip. And his wife helped him. And her son, Jack, helped them. And his dog helped them. And a cat helped them. At last, a bird helped them. The bird pecked the cat's tail. The cat bit the dog's tail. The dog pulled Jack's shirt. Jack helped his mother's skirt. She hugged the farmer. The farmer grabbed the turnip and everybody tugged. Finally, the enormous turnip popped out! And they felt happy! But, they had to eat every morning, every lunch and every diner the turnip. So the farmer decided that he will grow carrots.

It is funny story and I like this story. Because the picture is cute and the ending is unique.(132words:9507words)
