Jamie O'Rourke, the laziest man in Ireland, accidentally stumble upon a leprechaun, who gives him a seed for a giant potato instead of his pot of gold. Everyone thinks Jamie has been duped, until his potato starts growing. It's so large, it keeps the whole town fed all winter. Except now, they never want potatoes every again. The town agrees to feed Jamie and his wife from now on - as long as they don't grow another giant potato! Did Jamie get the better of the leprechaun, after all? Jamie O'Rourke, the laziest man in Ireland, accidentally stumble upon a leprechaun, who gives him a seed for a giant potato instead of his pot of gold. Everyone thinks Jamie has been duped, until his potato starts growing. It's so large, it keeps the whole town fed all winter. Except now, they never want potatoes every again. The town agrees to feed Jamie and his wife from now on - as long as they don't grow another giant potato! Did Jamie get the better of the leprechaun, after all? Jamie O'Rourke is the laziest man in Ireland. When he stumbles upon a leprechaun who gives him a magic seed, Jamie grows the biggest potato in Ireland, if not the world. When he offers the townspeople the potato in exchange for their help, they grow so sick of eating it, they offer to feed Jamie for the rest of his life if he promises to never grow a potato that big again. Jamie continues being the laziest man in Ireland. This folktale is funny. It does not teach the lesson you'd expect as everything works in the lazy mans favor. This could be a good book to start a discussion about predictions and how students think the book might end. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
