THE GOOSE WITH THE GOLDEN EGGS

Once upon a time, there lived a poor farmer in a village with his wife. One day,
the farmer bought a goose thinking that the goose will lay eggs which he can eat and
sell the remaining.
Next day morning, the farmer went to the nest. To his surprise, the goose had
laid a golden egg. The farmer went to the town and sold the golden egg for a good
price.
The goose started laying a golden egg every day. The farmer sold those eggs
and made a good fortune. As the farmer started becoming richer and richer by selling
the golden he became more greedy too.
They imagined that if the bird is able to lay golden eggs, its insides must be
made of gold. And they thought that if they could get all that precious metal at once,
they would get mighty rich very soon. So the man and his wife decided to kill the bird.
However, upon cutting the goose open, they were shocked to find that its
innards were like that of any other goose!

Moral Value:
Don’t be greedy and think before acting.
