Talia and the Rude Vegetables

¿How can a vegetable be `rude¿?¿ Talia wonders, when she mis-hears her grandmother asking her to gather ¿root¿ vegetables for a Rosh Hashanah stew. As Talia digs in the garden, she collects the twisted, ornery carrots and parsnips¿the ¿rude¿ vegetables that she thinks her grandmother wants¿and finds a good home for the rest.
