The other four sloths watched while Big Sloth put on his bib and withdrew a knife and fork from his pocket.
"I'll eat this whole house," said Big Sloth.
"Just you watch!"
Big Sloth pulled off a corner of the front door of the house made from lollipops.
He gulped it down smiling, and went back for more.
   And more.
      And more.
Eventually, Big Sloth started to get bigger - just a little bit bigger at first.
But after a few more fork-fulls of lollipops, he grew to the size of a large snowball - and he was every bit as round.
"Erm... I don't feel too good," said Big Sloth.
Suddenly, he started to roll.
He'd grown so round that he could no longer balance!
"Help!" he cried, as he rolled off down a slope into the forest.
