关于这个故事

The Golden Goose is a German fairy tale published by the Brothers Grimm in the first edition of their Children's and Household Tales in 1812. A youngest son whom everyone calls a simpleton shares his poor lunch with a little grey man, is rewarded with a goose of pure gold, and leads a growing chain of people stuck to it until a princess who has never laughed bursts out laughing. This version keeps the brothers' bumps gentle and has everyone come unstuck at the end.

故事告诉我们

Kindness and sharing are rewarded, and greed gets you into sticky situations. The proud brothers who refuse to share fail, while the youngest, who gives freely, ends up with a friend, a fortune and a laughing princess.

讲给孩子听的小贴士

Count the people stuck to the goose on your fingers as the line gets longer.
Make a conga line round the room and run behind each other like the stuck villagers.
Ask your child why the little grey man helped the youngest brother and not the others.
