The government tries to figure out what to do with the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs.

This is absolutely hilarious, one of Asimov’s funniest stories ever. The completely unlikely premise combined with the straight-faced narrative, the plausible-sounding science, and the government’s desperation at trying to solve the problem of a goose that can catalyze nuclear reactions combine for one of Asimov’s best.
