A Goose…or a Swan…?

There was some slight confusion here involving birds.  So, you may be familiar with the story of the Golden Goose (if not, get researching!).  There is a clock in Anton Pieck Square in Efteling, where you can see a procession of characters walk around a little building every now and then, the one in front is carrying a goose.  In all of the fairy tales we own, it is reffered to as the Golden Goose.  For some reason, however, in all the Efteling fairy tale books, they call it a swan, and a replica of the building that you can purchase in the Efteling web shop is called the Swan House.  It is quite clearly a goose, so where do swans come into play?  Any ideas?!

If you have us ‘liked’ on Facebook, you will know that a package arrived yesterday, a large one.  Inside was the miniature Swan House that can also be found in Efteling.  It moves and plays music when plugged in, and it is very nice!  I took a short video of it doing its thing:

Also check out the other miniature buildings that are available on the Efteling Web Shop.
