"A Sprig of Parsley" is the first of three short stories in Silly Stories About Vegetables, Book Two, written by British author Paul Cook - author of the Pete the Bee stories.

This short story is about a sprig of parsley that runs away from a factory, ends up on a fishing boat, and narrowly escapes being eaten in a sandwich.

Silly Stories About Vegetables can be played by parents to young children or, alternatively, listened to by children aged seven years old and upwards.
