THE UGLY DUCKLING
It is summer. A duck sits on her eggs. She sits and waits. She waits and waits.
At last the eggs open.
'At last!' says the duck.
'My little ducklings!'
But one egg does not open.
'Mm' says her friend. ' That egg is strange. Leave it.'
The ugly duckling grows. He can swim.
He can swim very well.
But this duckling is very big. And he is strange too.
So one day the ugly duckling runs away. He runs away from the farm.
'Go! Yes, go!' say his brothers and sisters. 'You're strange! You're ugly!
THE GINGERBREAD MAN
An old woman lives here. An old woman and an old man. They don't have any children.
The old woman's in the kitchen. She's making something. It's a gingerbread man.
He has a head. He has arms and legs. He has two eyes. a nose, and a mouth.
The gingerbread man runs away from an old woman and an old man. He also runs away from a cow and a horse, because they want to eat him.
He meets a fox and he runs away. But soon he comes to a river and he can't swim.
The fox tricks him to sit on her nose and then opens her mouth and eats him. And that is the end of the gingerbread man.
THE ENORMOUS TURNIP
The man has got a seed. He goes in the garden. He puts the seed in the ground.
The seed grows. The man's happy.
The seed grows and grows. It's a turnip. The turnip's big. It's very big.
The man is very happy.
THE ENORMOUS TURNIP
The man is hungry. He wants to eat the turnip. The man pulls the turnip. The turnip doesn't move.
