The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg
About The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg
Felix is handing out relief because Goldie, his goose, lays golden eggs. Captain Kidd steals her and takes her to his ship. She will not lay for the pirates. Felix turns himself into a cannonball, catches the ship, and with Goldie and another cannon wraps the crew in the sail and drops them in the hold. He and Kidd fight. Their swords melt together. Kidd cuts the mast support under himself and falls into the hold. Felix sails home and fires cannonloads of gold coins.
