Reading Notes Part A

The Golden Goose 

  • there was goose who had golden feathers
  • he lived near a mother and a daughter who were very poor
  • he thought to himself that once and while he would give them one of his feathers to sell and they would be able to live comfortably
  • time went on and the mother and daughter did indeed sell the feathers and live comfortably
  • the mother feared that one day the goose would never return and they would go back to living poorly
  • so the mother devised a plan to pluck all the goose's feathers the next time he came
  • the next time the goose came, the mother held him down and pulled out every one of his feathers
  • little did she know, if the feathers are plucked out against the goose's wishes, they turn white and no longer carry a monetary value 
  • as time went on, the goose grew more feathers but never returned again

An object that was more powerful than any weapon. Death goes to a nearby tree and makes a wand from the branch. He strikes it with magic and gifts it to the elder brother. The second brother asks for the power to bring back loved ...
