The sun hangs low in the sky as an entire peasant family yanks on the enormous turnip, trying to pry it from the ground. Despite the help of the family pets, it won't budge! Perhaps if they asked the mouse nicely. . .Meanwhile, the crows and chickens romp through the garden, happily gobbling seeds while everyone else is preoccupied. The scene is well painted in Evgeniya Nebogatova has an unmistakable style, with lots of gold and silver accents.
