    The old man and woman were getting very rich and it wasn't long till they had a lot of money. But the old man wasn't pleased for he tought if he killed the goose and opened that he would get ten or twelve egges inside in her. So begor he killed the goose and opened her but he got no eggs in her. She was the same as any other goose. Then they were very sorry for they had nothing to make a penny of and it wasn't long till they had all their money spent and they were as poor as ever again
