Title: A Greedy Farmer
There lived a farmer in a village. He had a wonderful goose. The goose laid an egg of gold every day. The farmer was very greedy. He thought that there were many eggs, in the belly of the goose. Since the goose laid one egg each day, he could only get the money of one. If he could sell all the eggs altogether, he could earn a lot of money within a day. Thinking this, he lost all of his patience. He was blinded by greed and desperately wanted to have all the eggs at once to become rich overnight. One day, he hit upon a plan that he would kill the goose and get all the eggs of gold from its belly. Sadly, there was no other way but to sacrifice the goose, according to the farmer. He told his wife about his plan. Unlike him, his wife was a wise person. She understood that his husband was making a mistake. She said to her husband, “Don’t be greedy. Be happy with what we have. We are already earning enough money. But the farmer did nor listen to his wife. There was no way to convince him what he was doing was wrong. One day, he actually killed the goose with a sharp knife. Then he cut open its belly, hoping to find a lot of eggs in there. But alas! He found not a single egg in it. In this way, the greedy farmer lost his useful goose.
