The tale of the Kumara

 The Tale of The Kumara

Once upon a time there lived a old man named Ben. He had some Kumara seeds and a lot of soil. He planted some Kumaras and then he went off to bed. When  he woke up in the morning he saw a massive Kumara. He thought he might pull it out and have a boil up.

So he grabbed the tip of the Kumara and pulled and pulled the Kumara, but it just wouldn’t come out, so he called out for some help to his grandson,“Jimmy  

James” he yelled. So he dashed over as fast a he could and said “This better be a good reason grandpa”. Then his grandad Ben Said, “Can you help me pull out this Kumara?” Then they grunted and heaved as they pulled and pulled until it came out.

So when they got back inside the house grandad Ben cut the Kumara with a big bush knife and they called some other family members so they could have a big dinner. Some family members brought briskits.They all ate most of the briskits and the water cres.They were shocked and they never knew boil up could be so delicious.
