The boy does such a great job that the farmer has promised him anything he would like, thinking he would ask for money the boy surprised him when he asks for nothing but the golden lamb that was born in the spring. The lamb and the boy then set off on their own adventure. The boy hears of the sick princess and decides that he can help her. Through their journey they meet many different people and when they arrive at the palace, they are not alone anymore.
This story is a Hungarian rendition of "The Golden Goose." I am again not familiar with this folklore tale but I thought it was cute! This story is told like many of the others and has a more natural feel other than a book feel. I think that this is important because it still connects the reader to the author and does not have the "book feel" disconnect. ( )

This Hungarian version of "the Golden Goose" tells of a young boy who has a golden lamb that helps him become rich. This light hearted tale will have children laughing and enjoying this story as the golden lamb is able to dance and entertain the king's daughter that in turns earns the young boy three bags of gold coins.

This story would possibly be enjoyed most by younger students. It would be great to incorporate dancing and music into a lesson plan from this story. ( )

The Little Golden Lamb is a spin off of the tale "The Golden Goose." The lamb in the story has a golden coat, and anyone who touches his coat sticks to it. This is a fun little tale that students ail enjoy. ( )

The Little Golden Lamb was about a boy who had a golden lamb, and the lamb was magical. Whoever touched the lamb was stuck to it. He was bringing the lamb to the princess to make her laugh because she has been ill. He was able to make her laugh, and he ended up marrying the princess. I would definitely read this to my students. As an activity to go along with this book, I would make K-3 color a lamb. I would make grades 1-5 come up with ways to make the princess laugh. ( )
