Thai for Everyone with Kru Robert

EP.8  _ Knowing more about Thai Foods 

В этом выпуске вы познакомитесь со сказкой "репка". Эта сказка очень известная, потому что в ней говорится о простых вещах: важность работы в команде и важность семьи. 
Дедушка сажает овощ репку, но репка вырастает слишком большая, поэтому дедушке сложно сделать всю работу одному...

А здесь вы найдете новые слова, которые вам могут быть нужны: 
Свернуть горы - move mountains;
Посадить - to plant;
Тащить/вытащить, тянуть/потянуть - to drag/to pull;
Земля - land, soil.

А вот текст в конце сказки (spoiler alert): 
"мышка за кошку,
кошка за Жучку,
Жучка за внучку,
внучка за бабку,
бабка за дедку,
дедка за репку 
тянут-потянут, — вытянули репку!"
- Почему ЗА + падеж 4? - Потому что мышка ((держится)) за кошку и т.д.
