Questão 27

    There was once ________ Countryman who
possessed the most wonderful Goose you can imagine,
for every day when he visited the nest, the Goose had
laid a beautiful, glittering, Golden egg.
[5]    The Countryman took the eggs to the market and
soon began to get rich. But he grew impatient with
________ Goose because she gave him only a single
Golden egg a day. He was not getting rich fast enough.
    Then one day, after he had finished counting his
[10] money, he thought that he could get all the Golden eggs
at once by killing the Goose and cutting 1t open. But
when he killed her, he didn't find a single Golden egg
and his precious Goose was dead.
