Features of a Newspaper Report
The farmer needed the
help of his wife and his
grandchildren and even
some of the farm animals
to pull up the turnip.
Then they had to move it
to the show. Fred used
his tractor to pull the
turnip. “It was a tough job
to pull it up” reported
Fred.
Fred and his wife won
first prize in the biggest
vegetable competition.
There was a surprise last
night at the Fairy Tale
town vegetable show.
Farmer Fred had brought
his enormous turnip to
show the judges and it
was the size of a car!
The farmer had planted
his turnip in March. He
worked hard to feed and
water it every day. He
was shocked by how big
it grew.
