Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a poor farmer named Jack. He had a little house, a few cows, and a very kind heart. One day, Jack was walking through the forest when he met an old woman. She was sitting on a rock, looking tired and hungry.
Jack, being a kind soul, shared his lunch with her. The old woman, grateful for his generosity, said, “Because of your kindness, I will give you a special gift. Follow the path ahead, and you will find a golden goose. Treat it with care, and it will bring you great fortune.”
Jack, although curious, thanked the woman and continued his way. Soon, he came across a beautiful golden goose standing in the middle of a clearing. He gently picked it up and decided to take it home.
As Jack walked back to the village, something unexpected happened. The people who saw the golden goose couldn’t resist but try to touch it. The moment they touched it, they became stuck to it! One by one, they tried to pull away, but each person got stuck to the next. Soon, a long line of villagers was walking behind Jack, all stuck to the golden goose.
When they reached the village, the king, who had heard of the golden goose, demanded to see it. Jack, still holding the goose, walked up to the palace. The king’s daughter, who was curious about the goose, tried to grab it. But as soon as she touched it, she too got stuck to the line of villagers.
The king, seeing his daughter stuck to the villagers, laughed and asked Jack, “How did you do this?”
Jack smiled and replied, “The golden goose is special. It rewards those who are kind and brings happiness to everyone.”
From that day on, Jack became a very rich and famous man. He treated the golden goose with the utmost care, and in return, it brought him even more fortune. The villagers, who had been stuck, learned an important lesson: kindness and generosity are the keys to true happiness.
And Jack, with his golden goose, lived happily ever after.
The End.
