Beschrijving
Buying the Goose (previously Anser Venalis). A farmer selling a goose refuses to take money for it; instead, he wants to sleep with the woman who is buying it. The woman agrees and they sleep together. He refuses to give her the goose because, he says, she had more pleasure than he did for she had taken the upper position.
After a second copulation in a different position, he claims that now they are even. While they are fighting about this, the woman’s husband comes and is told that they were quarreling about the price of the goose. He settles the fight by paying for the goose, and is thus doubly swindled.
