Harvest Day at Kiki’s Farm

Everyone is growing something for the harvest festival. Kiki’s pumpkin is the biggest yet, but it won’t budge.

All summer, Kiki the kitten watered and weeded a giant cabbage. By autumn, it was enormous. ‘It will win first prize at the harvest festival!’ she thought proudly.

The festival was tomorrow. But a giant cabbage was so huge that Kiki could not move it. She pushed. She pulled. She rolled. It would not budge. Kiki flopped on the grass, dejected.

Hugo the duck wandered past. ‘Need a hand?’ he asked. Together, they pushed. It moved a little. Then Ivy the tiger came along. ‘Let me help,’ she said in a deep voice.

The three of them heaved and hoed. They laid down logs to roll it, and slowly, slowly, a giant cabbage rolled to the festival. Neighbours stopped to cheer them on, and soon half the farm was pushing.

At the festival, Pippa the pony looked at the entries. ‘The biggest of all!’ she announced. Kiki stepped up to get the ribbon. But Kiki looked at the crowd behind her. ‘It wasn’t just me,’ she said.

So Kiki shared the ribbon with every helper. They baked a great pie from the crop and fed the whole festival. It was the best harvest the farm had ever known.
