Scene 1 · Beginner
En dag gik en bonde hen til sin gås. I reden lå der et gult æg, som skinnede. Han tog det op og mærkede, at det var meget tungt. Han troede, at nogen lavede sjov med ham, så han ville først smide ægget væk.
One day, a farmer went over to his goose. In the nest was a shiny yellow egg. He picked it up and felt that it was very heavy. He thought someone was playing a trick on him, so at first he wanted to throw the egg away.
Men han tog det alligevel med hjem. Han opdagede, at ægget var af rent guld, og blev meget glad. Hver morgen fandt han et nyt guldæg i reden. Han solgte æggene og blev snart rig.
But he took it home anyway. He discovered that the egg was made of pure gold and was very happy. Every morning, he found a new golden egg in the nest. He sold the eggs and soon became rich.
