"One, two, three...pull!"

The farmer grows turnips. One morning, the farmer goes to his field to harvest a strange turnip. What do you mean "strange"? I will show you. The turnip is very enormous!! It is very very big. Of course, he can't harvest the turnip. His wife, son, dog, and so on helps him and they tugs at the turnip. So, do you think that they can harvest the turnip? What do you think that how they cook the turnip? Guess what?

This story is one of my dear story. When I was an elementary student I learned this story in Japanese class. Most of children has read this story, I think. How big can turnip be?
