"The title characters have a big fight over a giant egg. When it turns out to be a ball, they learn to play with it together."
When Duck and Goose find a large egg (or, what they believe to be an egg) in a field, they argue about who it belongs to. Duck says it's his - he saw it first. Goose says it's his - he touched it first. When they finally agree to share the egg, a little bird arrives and reveals that all is not quite as it seems...This is a delightful tale about two expressive friends who argue, make up, and learn to share.
