In this 334th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Fairy Tale "THE GOLDEN GOOSE”.
A forester has three sons and a daughter. The eldest brother is sent into the forest to chop wood, fortified with a rich cake and a bottle of wine for lunch. She meets a little gray man who begs a morsel to eat and a swallow of ale but is rebuffed. The eldest brother meets an accident and is taken home. The second brother has a similar task, also meets the strange man, rebuffs him and meets a similar fate. The youngest son, Simpleton, is sent out with a biscuit cooked in the ashes of the hearth and soured beer, is generous with the little old man and is rewarded with a golden goose when he cuts down a tree. The goose has been discovered within the roots of the tree chosen by the little gray man and felled by Simpleton.
With the goose under his arm, Simpleton heads for the market but stays at an inn along the way, and that’s when the fun starts…… It seems that everyone wants a piece of Simpleton’s Golden Goose.
What happened next you ask…? Well many things happened, some silly and some serious. To find the answers to these questions, and others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out!
