Synopsis

An old man plants a turnip seed, and it grows into an enormous turnip. When he tries to pull it out, it's too big! He calls for help, and one by one, his wife, their son, a dog, a cat, and even a tiny mouse join in. Together, they pull and pull until—pop!—the enormous turnip comes out. This delightful tale teaches the value of teamwork and perseverance.
