\nOur Waldorf in the Woods summer session begins tomorrow. Our puppet show story will be The Turnip.
\nThe Turnip<\/strong>
\nretold by David Sidwell<\/a>
\nOne fine day at the end of summer, an old grandfather went to his garden and saw that he has grown a large turnip. A very LARGE turnip. He wanted to pull it out of the ground so he could eat it for supper, so he pulled and pulled, but he couldn’t pull out the turnip.
\nHe called out to his wife, “Wife! Come help me pull out this turnip!” She came over and grabbed him by the waist, and they both pulled and pulled, but the turnip wouldn’t budge.
\nSo the wife called for her son: “Son! Come help us pull out this turnip!” He came right over, grabbed her by the waist and the son and the grandmother and the grandfather pulled and pulled but the turnip wouldn’t budge.
\nThe son called out to his daughter, “Daughter! Come help us pull out this turnip!” She came on over, grabbed her father by the waist, and the daughter and the father and the grandmother and the grandfather pulled and pulled but the turnip wouldn’t budge.
\nThe daughter called out to her dog, “Dog! Come help us pull out this turnip!” He came over, put his paws around the daughter, and the dog and the daughter and the father and the grandmother and the grandfather pulled and pulled, but the turnip wouldn’t budge.
\nThe dog called out to the cat, “Cat! Come help us pull out this turnip!” She came over and put her paws around the dog, and the cat and the dog and the daughter and the father and the grandmother and the grandfather pulled and pulled, but the turnip wouldn’t budge.
\nThe cat called out to the mouse, “Mouse, Come help us pull out this turnip!” He came over and put his tiny paws around the cat, and the mouse and the cat and the dog and the daughter and the father and the grandmother and the grandfather pulled and pulled, but the turnip wouldn’t budge.
\nThe mouse called out to the cricket, “Cricket! Come help us pull out this turnip!” She came over and put her tiny, tiny claws around the mouse, and the cricket and the mouse and the cat and the dog and the daughter and the father and the grandmother and the grandfather pulled and pulled . . . and the turnip finally came out!
\nIt came out so fast that grandfather fell on grandmother who fell on her son who fell on her daughter who fell on the dog who fell on the cat who fell on the mouse who fell on the cricket. Then they all got up, dusted themselves off and went to the kitchen\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhere they cooked and ate the turnip!
