Wife: Come out here, dear! Quickly!
Farmer: Why? What’s the matter?
The Farmer runs out to the barn.
Wife: Look at this!
Farmer: What is it?
Wife: It’s a golden egg!

Goose: Cock –a –doodle-doo!!!
Farmer: Wake up, dear. Let’s see if the Goose laid another golden egg.
Wife: Okay. Let’s hurry.

Farmer: Yes. Thanks to the Goose. Feed it well, dear.
Wife: Of course. I will feed it the best food.
After that, the Farmer and his Wife gave the Goose the best food. They loved the Goose. The Goose kept laying a golden egg every day. Some months later, the couple moved to a bigger house. They were very happy.
Farmer: Thanks to the Goose, we are not poor anymore.
Wife: That is true. But I’m getting curious.
Farmer: About what?
Wife: The Goose doesn’t look special.
Farmer: So what?
Wife: But how can it lay golden eggs?
Farmer: Good question. Now I’m getting curious, too. Hmm…
More months passed and the Farmer and his Wife became quite rich.
Farmer: We are now quite rich. Thanks to the Goose.
Wife: Yes.
But I want to get really rich fast.
Farmer: How?
Wife: Think. We don’t know how the Goose lays the golden eggs. But we know where they are coming from.
Farmer: We do? Where?
Wife: From the Goose’s stomach, of course. So its stomach must be full of golden eggs.
Farmer: Perhaps. I don’t know.
Wife: Can’t you see? We can become really rich all at once.
Farmer: What do you mean?
Wife: Cut open the Goose’s stomach. Take out all of the golden eggs inside.
Farmer: You mean kill the Goose?
Wife: Ye s. A golden egg a day is too slow. I want to become really rich. Now!
Farmer: But it has given us a golden egg every day. It made us rich. We can’t kill it now.
Wife: Why not? Don’t you want to become richer faster?
Farmer: Yes, but we are rich right now.
Wife: Yes. But I want to become really really rich. I want to live in the city. Bring the knife from the kitchen.
Farmer: If you wish, dear.
The Farmer brings a sharp knife from the kitchen. The Goose sees the knife and starts crying and runs away. The Wife hides the knife behind her back.
Goose: Quack, quack!
Wife: What’s the matter, Goose? I have something delicious for you.
Goose: Quack, quack!
Wife: it’s running away! Go and catch it!
Farmer: Okay, dear. Come here, Goosey.
Goose: Quack, quack!
Wife: Catch it, catch it!
Farmer: I got it! The Goose with Golden Egg
Goose: Quack, quack!
The Farmer catches the Goose and the Wife is about to cut open its stomach.
Wife: We will be really rich soon. How many eggs will there be?
Farmer: I don’t know. But there must be many. I’m getting curious now. Hurry up. Cut it open.
Wife: Okay, here I go.
Goose: (scream)Q-U-A-C-K!!!
The Goose’s stomach is cut open. The Farmer and his Wife look surprised.
Farmer: Where are the golden eggs?
Wife: I don’t know. There must be some inside. Look carefully!
Farmer: There are none! What have we done?
Wife: No golden eggs?
Farmer: Poor Goose. We were too greedy. So we will become poor again.
Wife: Poor us!
Farmer: Boo-hoo-hoo.
