    (continued from previous page)
    the old geese and the gander would take care of the goslings. The gander would say "sh" "sh".
    All the geese are plucked in Autumn. They look very queer with their wings hanging to them. Then when the feather man comes my mother sells the feathers to him.
    Every person keeps a goose for Christmas day. Without one there would be no Christmas. At Christmas my mother carries a goose to everyone of our friends.
