The golden egg
Once upon a time, a farmer had a goose that laid a golden egg every day.
The egg provided enough money for the farmer and his wife for their day to
day needs. The farmer and his wife were happy for a long time.
But one day, the farmer got an idea and thought, “Why should I take just one
egg a day? Why can’t I take all of them at once and make a lot of money?”
The foolish farmer’s wife also agreed and decided to cut the goose’s
stomach for the eggs. As soon as they killed the bird and opened the
goose’s stomach, to find nothing but guts and blood. The farmer, realizing
his foolish mistake, cries over the lost resource!
