Short Story:
The goose that laid the golden egg
Once upon a time, a man and his wife had the good fortune to have a
goose which laid a golden egg every day. Lucky though they were, they
soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough. They
imagined that if the bird must be able to lay golden eggs, its insides
must be made of gold. And they thought that if they could get all that
precious metal at once, they would get mighty rich very soon. So the man
and his wife decided to kill the bird. However, upon cutting the goose
open, they were shocked to find that its innards were like that of any
other goose!
