The Story in Short

A farmer once owned a special goose that laid one shining golden egg every single day. Each day the farmer sold the egg and slowly grew rich.

But the farmer became greedy. He did not want to wait for one egg a day. He thought the goose must be full of gold inside, and decided to cut it open to get all the eggs at once.

When he cut the goose open, he found no gold inside, only an ordinary goose. In his greed, he had killed the goose and lost his daily golden egg forever.
