The Goose Who Laid Golden Eggs An Aesop Fable To Guess the Moral

What would YOU do if you discovered a goose that laid real, shimmering golden eggs? Would you celebrate your good fortune… or would greed start whispering in your ear?

This lively retelling of Aesop’s classic fable invites young readers (ages 7–11) to step into the shoes of a farmer who suddenly becomes rich overnight. Each golden egg brings excitement, possibility, and—eventually—a dangerous temptation. As the farmer’s choices grow bolder, kids are encouraged to pause, predict, and guess the moral before the story reveals its timeless lesson.
