A Golden Surprise

One morning, the farmer's wife went out to collect eggs and gasped. Sitting in the goose's nest was not a regular egg, but a solid, gleaming, golden egg.

“It can't be real,” she whispered, picking it up. It was heavy, and shiny, and unmistakably made of gold.

The farmer took it to town and sold it for more money than they had ever seen in their whole lives.
