The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg an Aesop Fable

A man and his wife owned a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich.

"Just think," said the man's wife, "If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose, we could be richer much faster." "You're right," said her husband, "We wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day." So, the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs.

    Poor geese suffer a “[head bash] against the wall to stun them” by Paul who is “like a madman” attempting to kill them for a meal (Remarque 92). Paul and Sanislaus, and older comrade, go off into the woods after an attack at the front trenches stalking and hunting their guiltless preys, the geese. The geese put up a fight before losing their lives to carnivorous soldiers who crave their meat and utilize their feathers for pillow cushions. Geese are not the only victims of human destruction, horses in battle also take the fall when they are the “moaning of the world, [they] are the martyred creation, wild with anguish, filled with terror and groaning” (Remarque 62). Horses are ridden into battle and a couple end up dead or wounded; the few that lie in no man’s land moan in agony and desperately yearn for sympathy. A soldier can no longer take the desperate cries, shoots the horse and the others watch as “slowly, humbly, it sinks to the ground” (Remarque 64). Geese, horses, other animals, and overall Mother Nature are crudely harmed by selfish wars between mankind in this novel, but this novel is a fictional depiction of the harsh realities of…

    In 1934, in February, when the dust was still so thick in the Minnesota air that my parents couldn’t always see from the house to the barn, their fifth child – a fourth daughter – was born. My father hunted rabbits daily, and my mother stewed them, fried them, canned them, and wished out loud that she could taste hamburger once more. In the fall the shotgun brought prairie chickens, ducks, pheasant, and grouse. My mother plucked each bird, carefully reserving the breast feathers for…

    When the women are looking around downstairs they come across a bird cage in the cupboard. Mrs Hale observes the door is broken off and someone must have been "rough with it," suggesting the motive for the crime. When Mrs. Hale looks inside Mrs. Wrights sewing box hoping to find scissors she finds a box and inside is the dead bird wrapped in silk. The birds neck looked as if it had been strangled. The women recall that when Minne Foster was younger she was lively, wore pretty clothes and sung in the choir, they said "I heard she used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir." The bird represented Minnie before she was married to Mr. Wright. Mrs. Hale says, "She-come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself-real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and-fluttery. How- she- did- change." Minne and the bird were both caged, the bird was in stuck in an actual cage and Minne was stuck in the house all the time. Mr. Wright changed Mrs. Wright, he took all those good things away, he was controlling he didn’t allow her to see her friends or leave the house, he even stopped her from singing.
