BR 1-05:The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs

Reference:
Mackinnon, M. (2006). The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs. London: Usborne Publishing Ltd.

This is Tom and his wife Elena's story. They lived in a small cottage and they were very poor. They had a goat, a garden, hens and geese. One morning, Tom found a solid golden egg and Tom had never seen so much money. Every day they grow up richer and they built a bigger and better house and they had a big garden. They desired to get golden egg more. Finally, they killed the goose.

I thought the goose was very pitiful because it made Tom and Elena happy. I also thought the goose taught us that we must not be greedy. It is important to be careful small things. The illustration has warmth, so I like it very much.
