The Goose that Laid the Golden
A Man and his Wife had the good fortune to possess a Goose which laid a Golden Egg every day.
Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough, and,
imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it in order to secure the
whole store of precious metal at once. But when they cut it open they found it was just like any
other goose. Thus, they neither got rich all at once, as they had hoped, nor enjoyed any longer
the daily addition to their wealth. Much wants more and loses all.
