Once upon spring, Mother Goose laid three eggs, and soon three goslings were born: Plop, Lucy, and Baby. Mother Goose was very proud of them and taught them everything real geese should know and be able to do. To peck at the soft grass by the riverbank, swim in the wide river, dive for tasty weeds, fall asleep standing on one leg, and waddle after her, rocking gracefully from side to side.
But all this was not so easy to learn. So Mother Goose began to tell her goslings various little poems and stories. She entertained them with tongue twisters and counting rhymes. During the day she sang them little songs to which they could easily dance along and flap their wings, and at night, lullabies to which it was cozy to fall asleep.
And these little poems and songs were so charming that other geese also began to tell and sing them to their children. And after them, ducks, moorhens, water rats, and field mice—everyone who lived by the big river. And finally, an old wise heron took a pen and wrote them all down, every last line. And so this little book was made.
