The Great Harvest Festival with Kofi
Everyone is growing something for the harvest festival. Kofi’s pumpkin is the biggest yet, but it won’t budge.
All summer, Kofi the kitten watered and weeded a giant cabbage. By autumn, it was enormous. ‘It will win first prize at the harvest festival!’ he thought proudly.
The festival was tomorrow. But a giant cabbage was so huge that Kofi could not move it. He pushed. He pulled. He rolled. It would not budge. Kofi flopped on the grass, dejected.
Poppy the duck wandered past. ‘Need a hand?’ she asked. Together, they pushed. It moved a little. Then Bella the bear 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, Tariq the turtle looked at the entries. ‘The biggest of all!’ he announced. Kofi stepped up to get the ribbon. But Kofi looked at the crowd behind him. ‘It wasn’t just me,’ he said.
So Kofi 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.
