INTRODUCTION

The Goose with the Golden Eggs was inspired by The Goose That Laid The Golden
Egg but has a different story.

By Mairi Makinnon and it was retold by Zette Fabian and Lem Guzman

A man and wife had the good fortune to possess a goose which laid a golden egg every
day. Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast
enough, and, imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it.
Then, they thought, they could obtain the whole store of precious metal at once;
however, upon cutting the goose open, they found its innards to be like that of any other
goose.

Mairi Mackinnon was born in England, went to school in Scotland, studied in France and
Italy and worked in Spain before finally settling down in London, where she lives with
her husband, three children and several thousand books. In her spare time she enjoys
reading, cooking for friends, and playing the fiddle in a dance band at parties from
