Long time ago a remote village in central China, was inhabited mainly by farmers and
hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock because of a flood. He prayed hard to
God for help or his family would die of starvation.
A few days later, an old man with a long grey beard, passing by his house, took a pity on
the farmer. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and
hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.” A week later to his surprise the farmer
found an egg in his yard. It was not an ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly filled
with joy.
Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier
hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift. Strangely, the goose only laid one golden
egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there
were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.
He found nothing! Poor him! Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already
too late.
