Once upon a time, there was a goose named Gander who lived in a flock of geese. One day, while flying in formation during their annual migration, Gander noticed that one of his mates was injured and couldn't keep up with the rest of the flock.
Gander decided to stay behind and help his mate, but he soon realized that they were lost and far from the rest of the flock. Meanwhile, back at the nest, a gosling had just hatched and needed its mother's protection.
Gander knew he had to find the flock fast, so he set out on a journey to find them. Along the way, he encountered challenges and obstacles, but he never gave up.
Eventually, Gander finally found the flock and reunited with his mate and the gosling. From then on, the flock always remembered the bravery of Gander and how he put the safety of his mate and gosling above everything else.
