Tweaking and twisting traditional tales can be a lot of fun... why don't you write a new version of your favourite tale.

The Enormous/Gigantic Turnip is an old Ukrainian/Russian folk tale that was first published in the 1800's.

In The Enormous Potato I have taken the old story and given it a simple twist by changing the vegetable that is being grown.

What would you do to change the story?
