After about he started to feel very sleepy so he went inside to have a little nap. He had wonderful dreams about  that night.

The next morning the old man decided to get up to check his seeds. He looked out of the window and could not believe his . It was an enormous turnip! As fast as he could the little old man rushed outside. "That is just what I dreamed about, an enormous turnip," said the little old man in surprise.

The man got hold of it and pulled and pulled and pulled but he could not pull it out. He called his wife, "Wife! Wife! I need !"

So the old man and his wife tried but they still could not pull it up.

So his wife called for their , Tom. But they still could not pull up the enormous turnip. Tom called for his , Gabrielle. But the four of them still could not pull up the enormous turnip.

So Gabrielle called for the , "DOG!" They all pulled and pulled and pulled but the turnip would not come out of the ground. So the dog called for the , ``CAT! ``. The cat held on to the dog and they pulled and pulled and pulled but the turnip would not come out of the ground. So the cat called for the .

A soon as the little dot (the mouse) came to pull the turnip came out of the ground. They all fell over.

They pulled the gigantic turnip into the kitchen and the wife chopped it up and cooked it. They had a feast of turnip for tea, and even the following week they still had turnip for tea!
