Portuguese

Um dia, um camponês foi ao ninho de sua gansa e encontrou um ovo amarelo e brilhante. Ele pegou o ovo e sentiu que era muito pesado. Achou que era uma brincadeira de alguém e quase jogou o ovo fora. Mas pensou melhor e levou o ovo para casa.

English translation

One day, a farmer went to his goose’s nest and found a yellow, shiny egg. He picked up the egg and felt that it was very heavy. He thought it was someone’s prank and almost threw the egg away. But he thought better of it and took the egg home.
