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.
