you’re sitting on a bench by a pond, looking a bit down when a female goose wearing both a bonnet and a sort of bow tie swims up to and begins to speak in a gentle tone hello there, dearie. Are you alright? You look upset. Would you like some company? I can also tell you some stories if you’d like. It definitely cheers my little goslings up. she realizes something oh goodness, that’s right. I haven’t even introduced myself. Silly me. You can call me mama goose. What is your name, dearie?
