Grandpa builds a beautiful little vegetable garden, but a big ugly rock
is in the way. He digs it with a shovel. Thinking that it is as big as a
car, he decides to bypass it when planting vegetables. Grandma nearly
trips over the rock when watering the seedlings, so she digs it with a
shovel. Thinking that it is as big as a house, she decides to walk
across it when she is there. Papa stumbles over the rock when he is
going to trim the seedlings, so he digs it with a shovel. Thinking that
it is as big as an airplane, he decides to let it stay. Mama is worried
about her sons tripping over the rock, so she digs it with a shovel.
Thinking that it is as big as a mountain, she decides to keep her sons
out of the vegetable garden. One day, the two brothers see the big rock
and decide to dig it out together. Both their grandparents and parents
tell them to give it up, because the rock can be bigger than they ever
imagine. However, in just one afternoon, the two brothers dig out the
rock successfully. It is not as big as they think. Sometimes the things
in front of us are not as simple as they look.
