Synopsis
A greedy farmer is dismayed when his harvest yields only a tiny turnip, far too small to satisfy his hunger. Disappointed, he passes it to his wife, who in turn gives it to the cow, and so on down the line, each animal deeming it too small. Eventually, the turnip reaches a hungry mouse, for whom it's a feast. But the story doesn't end there—an unexpected twist leads to a humorous and surprising conclusion.
