The Goose That Laid Golden Eggs

There was a poor man who lived with his wife. They lived in an old house
at the end of a village. Both the man and his wife were farmers. They reared
some geese on their farm. The geese would lay eggs every day.
Then, the farmers would collect the eggs and sell them. They would get
some money after selling the eggs.
One day, the farmer was surprised. One of the geese had laid a golden
egg. "Come! Come and see this!" he called out to his wife. She came running to
the coop. She was surprised to see the golden egg.
" Our goose has laid a golden egg!" she shouted happily. " We will be rich
when we sell this golden egg!"
The farmer later went to town. He sold the golden egg to a goldsmith. He
was happy to get a lot of money for it. "If the goose lays a golden egg each
day, we will be very rich soon!" the farmer said to his wife. The farmer's wish
came true. The next day, he went to see the goose again. It had laid another
golden egg.
The farmer had a lot of money now. The goose laid a golden egg every
day. The farmer and his wife became very rich and lived in a new house.
Soon, the farmer became greedy. One day, he had an idea. He believed
that the goose had many golden eggs in its stomach.
"If I cut the goose's stomach, I will get more golden eggs," he thought.
So, he took a knife and walked towards the coop. He cut open the goose's
stomach. However, he could not find any golden eggs in the goose's stomach.
The farmer was very disappointed.
The farmer realized his mistake. The goose was dead and there were no
more golden eggs.
This story tells us we should not be greedy or we will lose everything.
