Summary

There was a wedding at Hacklete and, whilst the wedding-party was away, the bride's idiot brother was asked to keep an eye on the goose that was being cooked. He ate the goose and killed another that was sitting on her eggs. Afterwards, he decided to sit on the eggs, concluding that he must do exactly as the goose used to.
