Scene 1 · Beginner
Μια μέρα, ένας χωρικός βρήκε στη φωλιά της χήνας του ένα κίτρινο αυγό που έλαμπε. Το σήκωσε και είδε πως ήταν πολύ βαρύ. Νόμισε ότι κάποιος του έκανε πλάκα και ήθελε να το πετάξει.
One day, a farmer found a shiny yellow egg in his goose’s nest. He picked it up and saw that it was very heavy. He thought someone was playing a joke on him. He wanted to throw the egg away.
Αλλά το σκέφτηκε ξανά και πήρε το αυγό στο σπίτι. Εκεί κατάλαβε με χαρά ότι ήταν ολόκληρο από χρυσάφι. Κάθε πρωί έβρισκε ένα ίδιο αυγό. Τα πουλούσε και σύντομα έγινε πλούσιος.
But he thought it over and took the egg home. There he was delighted to discover that it was made entirely of gold. Every morning he found another egg just like it. He sold them and soon became rich.
