Now, at last, the goslings' wings had grown, so that the geese could start for the south. The boy was so happy that he laughed and sang as he rode on the goose's back.
But even this story of Martha Gooch is based upon very meager and unsatisfactory evidence.

"Bravo!" shouted the Captain as the bird turned breast up. "There's that goose's brother comin' to see what's the matter with him; just cook his goose too, Benjy." The boy aimed again, fired, and missed. "Again!" cried the Captain, "look sharp!"
