The Goose that Laid Golden Eggs

The couple was soon richer than they had ever dreamed of, but they were not happy. They grew impatient with only one golden egg a day. The farmer said to his wife, “Our goose must be full of gold. Why should we wait to have more eggs?”

Dear Grandpa and Grandma,
Yesterday at my school we had International Day. We had performances, food stalls, displays, raffle ticket draw and some of us were dressed in costumers.
We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth grade. It was about games. The performances I was in was called labamba.
Straight after our performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asian, Arabic and Greece.
Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had lunch. My job was to sell International day books.
We had displays in the hall, these displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. The displays came from a lot of countries.
There was also a trash and treasure stall were they sell toys. The school got these things by asking the children to bring them in.
After lunch we had a raffle ticket draw. I didn’t win anything but a lot of people did.
Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was still fun.
