Johnny Nut and the Golden Goose

In a wind‑swept village of French Flanders lives Johnny Nut, an orphan known for his simple appetites and a single, burning wish: to taste a perfectly roasted goose. When a kindly farmer’s wife promises him a feast if he delivers a plump bird from the famed Hergnies geese, the eager lad sets off with a sack of bread, a cup of coffee and a very literal memory of “seven bushels and a pint.”

His journey quickly turns into a string of whimsical encounters—a boastful shepherd, an ever‑counting farmer, and a chorus of strangers who echo his own baffled mantra. Each meeting adds a new layer to Johnny’s naïve determination, turning a straightforward errand into a lively parade of folk‑tale characters.

Listeners will be drawn into the light‑hearted adventure, savoring the humor and charm of a classic story where hunger, hope, and a touch of magical mishap lead the way.
