The Giant Tapioca
Once upon a time, there lived a farmer.
One day he went to his farm.
He tried to get tapioca from the
ground.
He pulled and pulled but he could
not get it out.
He called his wife to help.
They pulled and pulled but they could not pull it
out.
He called his children to help.
They pulled and pulled but they could not pull it
out.
He called his dogs to help.
They pulled and pulled but they could not pull it
out.
He called his cat to help.
They pulled and pulled but they could not pull it
out.
A mouse came to help.
They pulled and pulled but they could not pull it
out.
Finally a tiny little spider came to
help.
Then…
CRASH!
They finally pulled the tapioca out.
The giant tapioca was bigger than the farmer. They all had a great
feast that night.
Even the tiny little spider got some food for his help.
