• Are ducks the same as


geese?
Answer: NO. The primary
difference between geese and
ducks is their weight and size.
Geese are generally
significantly bigger than ducks
and have longer necks than
ducks.
Let us read a
story.
Once upon a time, a farmer had a
goose that laid one golden egg
every day. The egg provided
enough money for the farmer and
his wife to support their daily
needs. The farmer and his wife
continued to be happy for a long
time.
But, one day, the farmer thought, “Why should we
take just one egg a day? Why can’t we take them all at
once and make a lot of money?” The farmer told his wife
his idea, and she foolishly agreed.
Then, the next day, as the goose laid its golden egg, the
farmer was quick with a sharp knife. He killed the goose
and cut its stomach open, hoping to find all its golden
eggs. But as he opened the stomach, he only found guts
and blood.
The farmer quickly realized his foolish mistake and
proceeded to cry over his lost resource. As the days
went on, the farmer and his wife became poorer and
poorer because of their foolishness.
Answer the following questions.

1.What was so special about the goose of the


farmer?
2.What was the foolish idea of the farmer?
3.Why did the farmer want to cut the goose open?

open?
