“The Fox and the Geese” Source Text
The Fox and the GeeseThis appealed to the fox. One plump goose would make the start of a good meal. “That is a reasonable request,” said the fox. “Sing away. I will not eat you until you are done.” The first goose began a good long song, repeating, “Ga! Ga! Ga!” As she would make no end to her song, the second goose did not wait until her turn came. She too began singing, “Ga! Ga!” The third and fourth geese followed her. Soon they were all cackling together, “Ga! Ga!” When the geese have finished their singing, the story shall be continued further. But at present they are still singing without stopping. And that fox is still very, very hungry.
