The golden goose


~Summary~
Once upon a time a young boy lived with his mother, father and brother John. John didn't like his brother and he called him Simpleton. However, Simpleton was clever and good.

One day, the boys' father who was a woodcutter said to them, " One day you can be a woodcutter." Therefore, first, John started to be it. When he walked into a forest, his mother gave him food and drink.

John found a big tree so first, he thought he could eat his food and have a drink. Suddenly, there was a little old man appeared and said to him that he wanted to eat John's food but John refused the old man's request. Then, the axe cut John's arm when he started to cut down the tree. Therefore, John couldn't get the big tree.

The next day,Simpleton said to his father," I'll try to cut down a big tree for you." so Simpleton walked into a forest with his lunch.
When Simpleton found a big tree and thought he started eating his lunch, the little old man appeared again! And he asked Simpleton that he wanted to eat his lunch. Then, Simpleton smiled and gave him self lunch.
After that, the little old man said to him, " You're a goof boy so I'll give you a nice present."
So, Simpleton began to cut the tree. It fell down and a golden goose appeared inside it.

Therefore, Simpleton decided to take it to the market. When he walked with the goose, many people stuck him so they had to follow Simpleton.

The end of this story, Simpleton met a beautiful princess and he got married with the princess!

~My impression~
I think this story is a good success story! The reason why I think that, Simpleton had a kind heart and good boy so he could meet a princess as a present by the God.
