“Golden Eggs”
Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly with farmers
and hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God
for help or his family would die of starvation. Few days later, an old man with long grey beard,
passed by his house took pity on him. 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 almost surprise the farmer found an egg in his yard. This was no
ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome 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. Though he very much regretted for his
foolishness, it’s already too late.
