peer agreement (net): +1goose that laid the golden egg Explanation: The closest English equivalent we have got to Oslicku otres se I think is "the goose that laid the golden egg" (Aesop's fable). The pointa is a bit different but I don't think it probably matters because the idea is the same - riches conferred on a poor person (by an animal) who loses them through stupidity. Suppose it depends on the context as to whether you can use it... Igor is no doubt right with the Brothers Grimm ref. but I have never come across it - and I think a normal English-speaking readership would not have a clue what you were going on about with "golden donkey" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days7 hrs (2008-10-01 05:15:29 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your thank you! |
