The Humungous Sweet Potato

Once upon a time, there was a man and his wife who was very very poor and they lived in a very, very, very, very old and rusty house. One day the man went into his room and found a very old book. Inside the book there is some cutting inside. So the man choose one picture and cut the sweet potato out. The book said the next thing to do is if you have a garden you will need to plant it into the mud and water it.

 

The man said “That’s no use!” He said, but he already hide it in the mud and so he went back into the house and take a deep nap. When he woke up, he heard the woman said, “Hey, see! It is the largest sweet potato in the world! The man jumped out of his bed and ran as quick as his body can hold him!

 

And when he came to the garden, he said to his wife, “It’s really the biggest sweet potato in the world!” He said to his wife, let’s pull the sweet potato out! He tried to pull the sweet potato but he can’t, so he called his wife and his wife came and the wife pulls the man and the man pulls the sweet potato they pulled and pulled and pulled but they couldn’t pull it out, and just then a cow came by. The man and the woman called, come and help us! But the cow was already a little bit old so he couldn’t hear them. They said “ Come and kick us!” So the cow ran into them and kick them. The woman said “not kicking! Is helping us!”  So the cow said “I’m sorry!” they said is Ok! So the cow pulls the woman the woman pulls the man and the man pulls the sweet potato but they still can’t pull it out, so an elephant came by and they all shouted pleased help us! The elephant came and the man helped the elephant to tie the cow’s tail, so the elephant pulls the cow and the cow pulls the woman and the woman pulls the men and the man pulls the sweet potato but they still can’t pull it! And a very angry giant came by they called “Come and help!” So the giant came and the giant pulls the elephant and the elephant pulls the cow and the cow pulls the woman and the woman pulls the man. The man pulls the sweet potato and they really pulled it out! So the woman carried the sweet potato into the kitchen and she cooked a pie. Then they each eat one big pie and the others sweet potato the man’s wife cooked another sweet potato pie and the woman sell the pie than many people came to buy and they got rich! They buy the largest castle in the world and the man, woman, the cow, the elephant and the giant all lived happily ever after!
