Once upon a time, in a small village in the United States, there lived a hard - working old grandpa. The old grandpa had a small vegetable garden, and he liked to plant radishes in the garden most. In spring, the old grandpa came to the vegetable garden very early. He took his small hoe and turned the soil loose and soft. Then, he carefully scattered the radish seeds one by one in the soil and gently covered a layer of soil, just like covering the seeds with warm quilts. Every day, the old grandpa would come to the vegetable garden to water and fertilize the radish seeds, looking forward to their growing up quickly.
Day by day, the radish seeds finally germinated. The tender green sprouts emerged from the soil, like little heads looking at the world curiously. The old grandpa was very happy. Every day, he would squat beside the radish sprouts, look at them carefully and murmur, "Little radishes, little radishes, you should grow up quickly." Under the old grandpa's meticulous care, the little radish sprouts grew up vigorously day by day, and their leaves became bigger and greener.
In the twinkling of an eye, autumn arrived, and the radishes had all grown up. The big and red radishes poked their bodies out of the ground one by one, like a group of naughty children. Looking at these radishes, the old grandpa grinned from ear to ear. He wanted to pull out all the radishes. However, when he pulled once, the radish didn't move at all. The old grandpa tried several more times, but still couldn't pull it out. He was so tired that he was out of breath.
At this time, the old grandma walked out of the house. Seeing the old grandpa struggling to pull the radish, she quickly walked over to help. The old grandma grabbed the old grandpa's clothes and pulled together with the old grandpa, but the radish still didn't move.
The little grandson saw his grandparents pulling the radish in the house and ran out too. He ran to his grandparents, hugged his grandma's leg and said loudly, "I want to help too." So, the little grandson also joined the radish - pulling team. The three of them pulled together with all their strength, their faces turning red, but the radish seemed to be joking with them and still refused to come out.
Suddenly, the family puppy saw everyone pulling the radish and ran over too. It bit the little grandson's clothes as if to say, "I'm coming to help too." So, the old grandpa, the old grandma, the little grandson and the puppy pulled together. "Hey yo, hey yo", finally, the radish was pulled out.
The whole family looked at the big radish that had been pulled out and all smiled happily. This big radish was enough for them to eat for several meals. The old grandpa said happily, "This is the result of everyone's united efforts." Since then, this story has spread in the small village, and everyone has known the story of the whole family pulling the radish together with united efforts.
