✨GUNNAR THE GOOSE✨
- was a little… different.
For starters, he had no wings
Not even tiny flappy ones. Just a perfectly round body, a long neck, and two very determined feet.
The other animals whispered things like:
“A goose with no wings?”
“Can he even honk properly?”
But Gunnar didn’t mind.
He had big dreams — not about flying, but about exploring ️
So every morning, he’d march proudly across the bookshelf plains, climb the mountain of couch cushions, and dive headfirst into the laundry jungle (a sock once tried to eat him)
One day, the others got curious and followed him.
They watched as he discovered a shiny button, rescued a trapped pencil, and built a nest out of tissues and glitter.
And suddenly, they didn’t care about wings.
Gunnar wasn’t just a goose — he was an adventurer
From then on, he led daily expeditions through the great unknowns of the living room
And every evening, the flock would gather around and listen to his tales.
Even the sock
