Would you be willing to have everything you ever wanted if it also came with an angry goose?
This episode is a real treat, as the story is performed by an actor, which adds an extra dimension to the storytelling. The story is about a man whose life is going about as badly as it possibly could be until he meets a man in a pub that offers to fix everything if he is willing to accept a huge price to have all his problems taken off his hands. The rest of the story examines what happens when you agree to something without thinking through the consequences.
I hope you enjoy this week's story, as I talk about at the end of the episode, there are a lot of parallels in this story with my experience of parenting. I won't discuss them in too much detail here as it would involve revealing spoilers of the story but I found writing this story helped me to better understand my philosophy towards raising my children - which is weird when I started out trying to write a silly story about an angry goose!
