Golden Egg
​

​     Once upon a time  there was a hunter. For many days he was not successful at bringing any food home and he was very worried that he would not be able to feed his family and that they would die. After another unsuccessful day of hunting he saw a wounded goose in the middle of the road. He saw that the goose was in great pain and he did not have the heart to kill it, so he went and tucked it under his arm and took it home. When he got home he laid the goose down only to find a golden egg under it.

​     The next day his wife went to clean up the cage and there was another egg. Next day they went to check on the goose and sure enough there was another golden egg underneath the goose. The next day they decided to cut open the goose’s stomach to get all the golden eggs. They did not find any golden eggs and they killed the goose that was laying the eggs. The hunter and the wife realized that what they did was wrong. If they had taken care of the goose, the goose would have taken care of them. If we take care of life, life will take care of us.
