"The Greedy Farmer and the Special Goose"
In a distant land, there lived a farmer who was the proud owner of a very special goose. Every day, the farmer would make his way to the coop and discover a single golden egg that the goose had laid. The farmer would become elated and overjoyed as he knew that he could fetch a handsome price for the golden egg.
One fine day, the farmer began to wonder if the goose had more gold inside her. "What if I cut the goose and take all gold at once?" the farmer thought to himself. Without much thought, the farmer decided to slice the goose open. Unfortunately, he found only the regular insides of a goose.
The farmer was devastated as he had lost not only the goose but also the opportunity to acquire more gold. It was then he realized his mistake and understood that his greed had made him foolish. The farmer had been so fixated on obtaining more wealth that he had failed to appreciate what he had already attained.
MORAL OF THE STORY
