A FARMER AND HIS GOOSE

Once upon a time, a poor farmer lived with his wife in a small village. Once he bought a goose from the market in the hope of eating eggs. So he made a beautiful cage and put the goose inside it.

Fortunately, the goose that the farmer brought home was no ordinary goose, because the goose laid one golden egg every day instead of the usual. The farmer became rich by selling golden eggs. But as the days went by the greed of the foolish farmer grew more and more. He wanted more than one egg at a time. So he hit upon a plan.

One day the foolish farmer said to his wife, "If we kill the goose, we will get all the eggs in his stomach together and we will become the richest man in this village overnight." 

Subdued by greed, the next morning they cut open the stomach of the goose. But, alas! They saw that the swan did not have an egg in its stomach. The goose died and the greedy farmer was left to repent his foolishness.

Moral : Too much greed is bad. Or, Grasp all, lose all.
