The next morning Robbie and Mamie ran out into the garden, and what do you think they saw?
"Oh, oh!" cried Mamie.
"Oh, oh!" cried Robbie.
"It has come," they both said together.
And there waddling about on the grass was a large goose.
They ran away to tell their mother, and she said,—
"Well, we must give it something to eat."
So Robbie and Mamie fed it, not only that morning, but every morning.
By-and-by this goose became very tame, and was soon the pet of the family.
"I am afraid we shall never have him for dinner now," said Robbie.
