Thorn once had three sons, the youngest named Dummling, who learns generosity wins luck. A gray old man asks for cake and drink. Dummling shares, receives a magical goose with golden feathers, and a night at an inn. The sisters greedily grab feathers and are stuck, while he keeps the goose.
A long fragment from a Victorian style dialogue blends philosophers and a jovial crowd.

The piece shifts to lighter vignettes, a fictionated cafe scene, and various social asides.
