  Welcome back to Storytime with Lucky Podcast.

  Today we read The Poor Goose, story by Gil Munson.
• 0:12
  This is the story of a horse, a sheepdog and a goose.
• 0:17
  The three animals were chatting in a farmyard one morning. I'm bored, snorted the horse.
• 0:23
  Let's have a real start. Let's all dash from the farmyard to the barn at the end of the track.
• 0:30
  I know I will get there for you two, the sheepdog and the goose agreed.
• 0:38
  I'm the fastest animal ever born, said the horse to himself.
• 0:45
  I've got long strong legs and i know a
• 0:48
  shortcut across the mall the sheepdog
• 0:52
  is not as fast as i am and that poor goose has
• 0:55
  no chance of winning she is very silly
• 0:58
  if she thinks she can i'm the smartest
• 1:02
  sort of animal said the dog to himself and i have some former popcorns pal he
• 1:09
  will let me Hector lived in his cart when he transports his sacks of corn to
• 1:16
  the carton store in the barn.
• 1:19
  The horse is not as far as I am. That poor goose has no chance of winning.
• 1:25
  She's very silly if she thinks she can win.
• 1:28
  But the goose just ignored them. She flopped off her soft grey wings and didn't say anything at all.
• 1:36
  Off they went. The horse went across the moor, jumping the thorn bushes and the tree trunks.
• 1:43
  He looked to the left and looked to the right. I can't see the sheepdog,
• 1:48
  he snorted scornfully, and I can't see that silly goose. I must be winning.
• 1:55
  The sheepdog hit the lift and found a popcorn cart. He sat on a sack of corn,
• 2:03
  grinning to himself as the cart bumped along the track.
• 2:06
  He looked to the left and looked to the right. I can't see that horse, he barked importantly.
• 2:13
  And I can't see that silly goose. I must be winning.
• 2:17
  But the goose had the best plan of all. They may think him silly, she honked.
• 2:23
  But I have something the other two don't have. The goose won.
• 2:29
  Before she got to the barn door long before the horse or the sheep dog.
• 2:37
  After that, they didn't insult her anymore. Can you guess what the goose did? She flew!
• 2:44
  The end. Thank you for listening.
