A needy man and his golden goose
Long ago there lived a needy man in a village. The man had a goose. It was not a usual one for it laid one golden egg every morning. Each egg brought the man quit a fair of amount of money and he soon become rich. But his wife was not satisfied with this. The lady was too much greedy. She thought “The goose has quit a number of golden eggs in its womb. Why should we not receive all eggs at a time?” So she asked the man to do so. But the man didn’t agree with her. One day when the man was out of his house. His greedy wife brought a sharp knife, took hard of the goose and cut its belly. The goose died at once. But alas! To her utter disappointment she found no eggs. She lost the goose and became poorer then before.
