One 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 that real geese should know and be able to do: nibble soft grass, swim in a wide river, dive for tasty seaweed, fall asleep standing on one leg, and walk behind it in single file, waddling gracefully from side to side.
But it is not so easy to learn all this. And then Mother Goose began to tell her goslings different poems and stories. She entertained them with tongue twisters and counting rhymes. During the day she sang them songs to which it was comfortable to dance and flap their wings, and at night - lullabies to which it was cozy to fall asleep.
And these were such well-written poems and songs that other geese also began to tell and sing them to their children. And after them, the ducks, and the marsh hens, and the water rats, and the field mice - all who lived on the big river. And finally one wise old heron took a pen and wrote them all down, to the last line. And that is how this book came about.
