Harvest Day at Yuki’s Farm
Everyone is growing something for the harvest festival. Yuki’s pumpkin is the biggest yet, but it won’t budge.
All summer, Yuki the puppy watered and weeded a monster marrow. By autumn, it was enormous. ‘It will win first prize at the harvest festival!’ she thought proudly.
The festival was tomorrow. But a monster marrow was so huge that Yuki could not move it. She pushed. She pulled. She rolled. It would not budge. Yuki flopped on the grass, dejected.
Nico the lamb wandered past. ‘Need a hand?’ he asked. Together, they pushed. It moved a little. Then Zane the zebra came along. ‘Let me help,’ he said in a deep voice.
The three of them heaved and hoed. They laid down logs to roll it, and slowly, slowly, a monster marrow rolled to the festival. Neighbours stopped to cheer them on, and soon half the farm was pushing.
At the festival, Flo the pony looked at the entries. ‘The biggest of all!’ she announced. Yuki stepped up to get the ribbon. But Yuki looked at the crowd behind her. ‘It wasn’t just me,’ she said.
So Yuki 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.
