Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun with a nursery rhyme about a special lady named Old Mother Goose. Are you ready to hear her story? Let’s go!
Old Mother Goose is a magical lady who loves to wander around. But guess what? She doesn’t walk or run. She flies through the air on a big, friendly goose called a gander! Isn’t that amazing?
Mother Goose has a cozy house in the woods. At her door, there’s a wise old owl who stands guard. The owl makes sure everything is safe and sound. Hoo-hoo!
Mother Goose has a son named Jack. Jack is just an ordinary boy, not too good and not too bad. One day, Mother Goose sent Jack to the market to buy something special.
At the market, Jack bought a live goose. He was so excited to show his mom! “Look, Mother,” he said, “I got something really special!”
Jack’s goose and Mother Goose’s gander became best friends. They loved to eat together and swim in the pond. They were such happy friends!
One sunny morning, something magical happened. Jack’s goose laid an egg, but it wasn’t just any egg. It was an egg made of pure gold! Wow, what a surprise!

Hello friends! Today I’m going to read you a classic nursery rhyme called “Old Mother Goose.” It goes like this:
Old Mother Goose, when she wanted to wander, would ride through the air on a very fine gander. Mother Goose had a house that stood in the wood, where an owl at the door as a sentinel stood. She had a son, Jack, a plain-looking lad; he was not very good, nor yet very bad. She sent him to market, and a live goose he bought. “See, Mother,” he said, “I have not been for naught.” Jack’s goose and her gander soon grew very fond; they’d both eat together or swim in the pond. Then one fine morning, as I have been told, Jack’s goose had laid him an egg of pure gold.
