THE GOOSE THAT LAID GOLD EGGS
One day a farmer bought a goose and took it home.
The next day the goose laid an egg of solid gold.
"That is a wonderful goose," said the farmer, and he took the egg
to a jeweler to find out its value.
"It is pure gold," said the jeweler, and he paid the farmer a big
price for it.
Each day the goose laid a gold egg. The farmer had a dozen.
"I shall soon be a rich man," he said, "but I do wish the goose
would lay more than one egg a day."
After the goose had laid many eggs, the farmer said, "That goose
has many more gold eggs for me. I will not wait for one a day. I
will kill the goose, open it, and get all the eggs at once."
So he killed the goose and opened it, but what do you think? There
was not one egg to be found.
