The Gambling Gander
by Blogdramedy
“Where is it? I know one of you has it and I want you to give it up NOW! The gander strutted in front of Joe’s Bookie Joint, glaring at the six geese he had purchased from an old man with an ill shod horse on the way into town.
The geese looked at him with puzzlement in their eyes.
The first goose, the leader of the gaggle, stood on her two webbed feet. She fluttered her wings. “We don’t know what you are talking about. Yes, we’re egg layers. We won’t deny that.” The rest of the geese nodded their heads in unison, like bobble dogs in the back of a car.
“I’ve got a hot tip and I want that egg. If I have to, I’ll take each of you and wring your neck until you squawk. I WANT MY GOLDEN EGG!
