Once upon a time there was a Goose who had beautiful golden feathers. Not far away from this Goose lived a very, very poor woman who had two daughters. The Goose saw that they had a hard time getting along and said to himself:“If I give them one after another of my golden feathers, the mother can sell them, and with the money they bring she and her daughters can then live in comfort.”So away the Goose flew to the poor woman’s house. Seeing the Goose, the woman said:“Why do you come here? We have nothing to give you.”“But I have something to give you,” said the Goose. “I will give you my feathers, one by one, and you can sell them for enough money so that you and your daughters can live in comfort.”So saying this the Goose gave her one of his feathers, and then flew away. From time to time he came back, each time leaving another feather. The mother and her daughters sold the beautiful feathers for enough money to keep them in comfort. But one day the mother said to her daughters:“Let us not trust this Goose. Some day he may fly away and never come back. Then we should be poor again. Let us get all of his feathers the very next time he comes.”The daughters said: “This will hurt the Goose. We will not do such a thing.”But the mother was greedy. The next time the Golden Goose came she took hold of him with both hands, and pulled out every one of his feathers.Now the Golden Goose has strange feathers.

Read the story then answer the questions that follow.          Once a poor woodcutter and his wife lived in a little cottage in a big forest. One day, the woodcutter said to himself, “My wife and I are so poor and hungry. We work hard to get so little in return.”         Just then the fairy appeared. “I heard what you said. I will help you. Your next three wishes shall be granted.” Then the dairy disappeared.          The woodcutter hurried home and told his wife what had happened. “We could ask for riches or a beautiful house,” said the man. “Or a whole kingdom or pearls and diamonds,’ said his wife.          They could not decide what to wish for. Finally, the man looked at the crust of bread on his plate, “I wish I had a big sausage,” he said and a great sausage fell upon the table. “You have been foolish!” said the wife. “One of the wishes has now been granted and we just have a big sausage.”           “But we do have two wishes left,” said the man. “We can still wish for the riches and the kingdom.”          “It’s your fault that we can’t ask for even more. It is all your fault for being so foolish!”          “I am tired of your complaints,” said the man, “I wish that sausage would hang from your nose.”           The next minute, the sausage was hanging from the woman’s nose. She really complained now.         “We can still ask for riches,” said the man.         “What can we do with riches? I have a sausage hanging from my nose and it is all your fault!”          Finally, the woodcutter said, “I wish the sausage weren’t here at all.”          The sausage vanished.
