イソップ物語 金のたまご

(ｔｈｅｒｅ　ｗａｓ　ｏｎｃｅ　ａ　ｃｏｕｎｔｒｙｍａｎ)

There was once a Countryman

(ｗｈｏ　ｐｏｓｓｅｓｓｅｄ　ｔｈｅ　ｍｏｓｔ　ｗｏｎｄｅｒｆｕｌ)

who possessed the most wonderful

(ｇｏｏｓｅ　ｙｏｕ　ｃａｎ　ｉｍａｇｉｎｅ，　ｆｏｒ)

Goose you can imagine, for

(ｅｖｅｒｙ　ｄａｙ　ｗｈｅｎ　ｈｅ　ｖｉｓｉｔｅｄ　ｔｈｅ)

every day when he visited the

(ｎｅｓｔ，　ｔｈｅ　ｇｏｏｓｅ　ｈａｄ　ｌａｉｄ　ａ)

nest, the Goose had laid a

(ｂｅａｕｔｉｆｕｌ，　ｇｌｉｔｔｅｒｉｎｇ，)

beautiful, glittering,

(ｇｏｌｄｅｎ　ｅｇｇ．)

golden egg.

(ｔｈｅ　ｃｏｕｎｔｒｙｍａｎ　ｔｏｏｋ　ｔｈｅ　ｅｇｇｓ)

The Countryman took the eggs

(ｔｏ　ｍａｒｋｅｔ　ａｎｄ　ｓｏｏｎ　ｂｅｇａｎ　ｔｏ　ｇｅｔ)

to market and soon began to get

(ｒｉｃｈ．　ｂｕｔ　ｉｔ　ｗａｓ　ｎｏｔ　ｌｏｎｇ　ｂｅｆｏｒｅ)

rich. But it was not long before

(ｈｅ　ｇｒｅｗ　ｉｍｐａｔｉｅｎｔ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｔｈｅ　ｇｏｏｓｅ)

he grew impatient with the Goose

(ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｓｈｅ　ｇａｖｅ　ｈｉｍ　ｏｎｌｙ　ａ)

because she gave him only a

(ｓｉｎｇｌｅ　ｇｏｌｄｅｎ　ｅｇｇ　ａ　ｄａｙ．　ｈｅ　ｗａｓ)

single golden egg a day. He was

(ｎｏｔ　ｇｅｔｔｉｎｇ　ｒｉｃｈ　ｆａｓｔ　ｅｎｏｕｇｈ．)

not getting rich fast enough.

(ｔｈｅｎ　ｏｎｅ　ｄａｙ，　ａｆｔｅｒ　ｈｅ　ｈａｄ)

Then one day, after he had

(ｆｉｎｉｓｈｅｄ　ｃｏｕｎｔｉｎｇ　ｈｉｓ　ｍｏｎｅｙ，)

finished counting his money,

(ｔｈｅ　ｉｄｅａ　ｃａｍｅ　ｔｏ　ｈｉｍ　ｔｈａｔ　ｈｅ)

the idea came to him that he

(ｃｏｕｌｄ　ｇｅｔ　ａｌｌ　ｔｈｅ　ｇｏｌｄｅｎ　ｅｇｇｓ　ａｔ)

could get all the golden eggs at

(ｏｎｃｅ　ｂｙ　ｋｉｌｌｉｎｇ　ｔｈｅ　ｇｏｏｓｅ　ａｎｄ)

once by killing the Goose and

(ｃｕｔｔｉｎｇ　ｉｔ　ｏｐｅｎ．　ｂｕｔ　ｗｈｅｎ　ｔｈｅ)

cutting it open. But when the
