Story about a man who found a potato growing. Everyone tried to pull it out, until the whole town helps. Once they get it out, it feeds the whole town. Cute silly story!

The Enormous Potato begins with a farmer who plants an eye --- a potato eye. It grows and grows into an enormous potato. Harvest time comes, but the potato is so big that the farmer can't pull it out. So he calls for help, first to his wife, then to their daughter, then to the dog and so on.
