Read together

Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Frank. Frank was always confuse about what crops to plant in his field. One day, he had an idea to plant different fruits and vegetables so he wouldn't be hungry. But when he woke up the next morning, he couldn't believe what he saw! His crops had grown into giant fruits and veggies overnight! Frank was so excited he started jumping for joy. But then, he noticed that the fruits and veggies were angry because they were being picked. They started talking to him and told him that they wanted to live their lives on the vine. Frank was shocked, but then he realized he was being mean. He apologized and promised to never pick them again. The fruits and veggies forgave him and they all lived happily ever after. The end.
