The Goose that Laid the Golden
andemsp;andemsp;The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg
andemsp;andemsp;A man once had a goose I'm told
andemsp;andemsp;Which had laid each day an egg of gold.
andemsp;andemsp;Now if this treasure were well spent,
(5)andensp;andensp;It might make anyone content.
andemsp;andemsp;But no! This man desired more;
andemsp;andemsp;And though of eggs he had rich store;
andemsp;andemsp;He thought one day the goose he'd kill,
andemsp;andemsp;And then at once his pockets fill.
(10)andensp;So chasing goosey round and round,
andemsp;andemsp;She soon was caught and firmly bound.
andemsp;andemsp;He opened her from neck to tail
andemsp;andemsp;And then his folly did bewail.
andemsp;andemsp;For not a single egg was there,
(15)andensp;And thus he lost this treasure rare.
