Once upon a time there was an old peasant. His hut is completely rotten, and he decided to put a new one, but there is no forest. He breaks his head where to get it. And in those days, the peasants could get timber for new buildings only from the master. So he thinks how he could drive up to the master. He carried his goose to the gentleman and the lady for a treat. The master admitted him to him. The peasant tells that, they say, the forest needs a new hut, the old one, they say, has completely rotted away. Then he remembers the goose that he brought with him, gives it to the master. And the master looked and said:
- There are five of us, how can we divide one goose for all?
- Nothing, sir, tell me, I will share.
- Come on, show me how it's done!
When the goose was plucked, the old one took up the carve-up: he cut off the head and neck and gives it to the owner himself:
- To you, as the head of all honorable gentlemen, - all the wisdom and power over this little creature.
Then he cut off both wings, gives them to the lady and daughter and says:
- And this is for you with your beautiful daughter, so that your darlings can flutter in the sky.
Then he cuts off both legs and gives to both barchuk:
- And this is for the sons of the master, so that they are diligent and dexterous. And the rest is for me to share.
The master and the lady only marvel at how cleverly the old man divided the goose! And to celebrate, they give him as many forests as he wants. The peasant - don't be a fool - has rolled up a hut for himself, which is your master's palace: two chimneys, high windows, wide doors. The neighbors are looking and wondering how he was able to build such mansions, when the very penny was not a broken soul. It turned out that all this was obtained for one goose. Here one old man also took it into his head: "Wait, I have six geese, if they are demolished, then the master will give me to the forest."
He brought all his geese to the master and asks for a forest for a new barn.
- Okay, okay, but how can we be, dear? You have six geese, and there are five of us!
The old man thought, he doesn't know, poor fellow, what to do. And the master remembered that he had recently had one peasant. who shared the goose so wonderfully, but everyone was happy. I ordered to call him to me. Here comes that old man, and they tell him to divide the six geese equally into five people. The peasant looked, did not hesitate for a long time and said:
- I will help, if there is a need for that. Here's how we will divide them! Let's analyze everything in threes. You, a gentleman and a lady, and one goose - three. You, both sons, and again one goose is a three, and these two goose and a young lady are also a three. Only two geese left! Let's do it this way! I and two of them are also three. That's all equally and got.
All mouths were astounded. For such dexterity, the master gave the forest not to the one who asked, but to the one who divided, for his ingenuity. Now this man has built a new barn for himself, and the other was left with nothing.

Do not stand aside indifferently
When someone is in trouble.
You need to rush to the rescue
Any minute, always.
And if someone ever helps
Your kindness, your smile.
You are happy that the day was not lived in vain
That you do not live the years in vain!

A man brings a goose to the master, asks for bread. And the master tells him that he has two sons, two daughters, and a wife. How to divide one goose into all?
A man, without hesitation, gives his head to the master, as to the head of the family, gives the back to the lady, as if sitting at home. He gives the legs to his sons, because they choose the path in life, and he gives the wings to his daughters - they will marry, fly away from their father's house. Well, the man takes the rest for himself.
The master laughed. He liked this section. He gave the poor man both bread and money.
A rich neighbor found out about it and was envious. I roasted five geese at once and took them to the master. And the master again lists his family and asks how to divide five geese into six people?
The rich man can think of nothing, he only scratches his head.
The master sent for the poor man. He came and immediately began to divide. He gave one goose to the master and the lady and said that there were three of them now. I gave one goose to my sons, there were three of them too. I gave one more goose to my daughters - and there were three of those. Well, he took two for himself - there were also three of them.
The master laughed for a long time, again gave money to the poor, and drove the rich from the yard with sticks.
