A strange yellow egg

Russian

Однажды крестьянин нашёл в гнезде своей гусыни жёлтое блестящее яйцо. Он взял его в руки: яйцо было очень тяжёлым. Крестьянин подумал, что кто-то решил над ним пошутить, и уже хотел выбросить яйцо. Но потом он передумал и отнёс его домой.

English translation

One day, a farmer found a shiny yellow egg in his goose's nest. He picked it up: the egg was very heavy. The farmer thought someone was playing a joke on him and was about to throw the egg away. But then he changed his mind and took it home.

Russian

Дома он вскоре понял, что яйцо из чистого золота, и очень обрадовался. Каждое утро в гнезде появлялось новое золотое яйцо. Крестьянин продавал эти яйца и скоро стал богатым.

English translation

At home, he soon realized that the egg was made of pure gold, and he was overjoyed. Every morning, a new golden egg appeared in the nest. The farmer sold the eggs and soon became rich.
