Ett märkligt gult ägg

A strange yellow egg

En dag gick en bonde till sin gås. I gåsens bo låg ett gult ägg som glänste. Bonden tog upp ägget och märkte att det var mycket tungt. Han trodde att någon hade lurat honom och ville kasta bort ägget. Men han ändrade sig och tog med det hem. Där upptäckte han att ägget var av guld.

One day, a farmer went to his goose. In the goose’s nest lay a shiny yellow egg. The farmer picked up the egg and noticed that it was very heavy. Thinking someone had tricked him, he wanted to throw the egg away. But he changed his mind and took it home. There he discovered that the egg was made of gold.

Det gjorde honom glad.

This made him happy.

Varje morgon hittade bonden ett nytt guldägg i boet. Han sålde äggen och blev snart rik.

Every morning, the farmer found a new golden egg in the nest. He sold the eggs and soon became rich.
