He was sorry now when he had the goose eaten because he said to himself that they would have nothing for the party.Lucky enough for Tom they had a goose hatching and he brought her in and killed her. Without ever plucking her he put her in the pot to boil. At last, he went to the barrel ans drank a mug of porter. He din't know how to turn off the tap and all the porter ran along the floor. He said his mother and wife would get all wet, and he got the bag of (oats) loaves and put them here and there all round the room as steps.He thought that the eggs on which the goose was sitting would be cold and he sat on them himself.. When the mother and wife came home Tom was still on the eggs and when his intended wife saw him she turned away and went home leaving Tom to his mother.
