When he came before the king and gave him the goose,the king 4 saw that it had only one leg.
Now,the king 5 was born with one bad leg,so he had never been able to 6
properly(正常地).When he saw the goose with only one leg,he thought the farmer had 7
this to laugh at him.Of course he was very 8 .The farmer was told that if anybody laughed at the king,he would be 9 at once.
“Where is 10 leg of the goose?” the king asked.
“All the geese(goose的复数)in this 11 of the country have one leg only,” the farmer answered.
“Do you think I’m a fool(傻子)?” the king shouted.
“ 12 ,” said the farmer,“if you look out of the window,you will see geese with one leg by the 13 .”
The king looked,and there the geese were 14 on one leg beside the water.The king at once told one of his men to 15 them with a big stick,and of course,they 16 their other legs and ran away.
“There,” said the king.“You were lying(说谎).That 17 that the geese here have two legs,like all other 18 in the country.”
“But it doesn’t show anything,” answered the farmer,“if your men threw a big stick like that at me,I would grow two 19 legs myself to help me to run away 20 .”

Once there was a clever farmer.Though he was poor,he decided
从前有一个聪明的农夫.虽然他很穷,有一天他决定送给国王一只烤鹅作为礼物.那天他没有吃太多东西,因此很快难以拒绝烤鹅的香味,他吃了烤鹅的一条腿.
当他来到国王面前并把烤鹅递给他的时候,国王立刻发现烤鹅少了一条腿.
国王本人自出生起就一条腿坏了,因此他从来没能够正常行走.当他看到这个少了一条腿的烤鹅的时候,他认为这个农夫故意这样做来嘲笑他,当然很生气.农夫被告知任何嘲笑过往的人将会立刻被处死.
“鹅的另一条腿哪里去了?”国王问
“这个国家所有农场上的鹅都只有一条腿”,农夫回答道.
“你把我当傻子了吧?”国王吼道.
“当然不是啦”农夫说,“往窗户外面看看,你会看到湖边有一条腿的鹅”
国王看了看,水边果然有鹅用一条腿休息.国王立刻让他的一个随从用一根打棍子打鹅群,当然了,它们伸出另一条腿跑了.
“但是这也不能说明什么”农夫答道,“如果你让随从用同样的棍子打我,我也会立刻长出两条腿闪人的.”
