I have a long history with geese I will have to tell you about some day. But a tidbit instead- the oldest work of fiction (an adventure tale, set in a framing story of a merchant arriving late to see the pharoah) ends with the phrase "why give water to a goose on the morning of its sacrifice?" as the punch line. And despite the story surviving for millenia, nobody knows exactly what that moral is supposed to mean.

I suppose that every life should rightly be filled with sustenance, even if it is destined to end.
