Teller. Once upon a time there lived an old man and his wife. One day the old man sowed a turnip seed. The rain fell, the sun shone and the seed grew and grew into a very big turnip.

Old Man. I want to have my big turnip for supper. I want to pull it out! One, two, three, it is too big for me. Granny, come here. Help me please.

Granny. Oh, I cannot help you because it is half past five now. Don't you know that every day at this time I watch my favourite serial? I hope today Ricardo will meet Rosa. May be our granddaughter will help you?

Old Man. Granddaughter, come here. Can you help me, please?

Granddaughter. Oh, Grandpa! How can I help you? Don't you see I have a new dress on? And I have no time because I am going to the disco club. Ask Zhuchka to help you.

Old Man. Zhuchka, come here. Help me please.

Zhuchka. I'm sorry, grandfather, I cannot help you. In ten minutes I have a rendezvous with the neighbor's dog near the restaurant. I think Murka can help you.

Old Man. Murka, come here. Help me please.

Murka. I don't want to help you because I don't like turnip. I prefer "Wiskas". It is really tasty and very cheap in our super market.

Old Man. I cannot pull out the turnip. It is too big for me. Nobody wants to help me.

Little Mouse. Don't cry, old man. I shall help you with my tail.
