The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who owned a goose that laid a golden egg every day. The farmer was overjoyed at the goose's gift and sold the egg for a large sum of money. However, he wanted to get all of the golden eggs at once, and he decided to kill the goose and take all of the eggs inside.

When he opened the goose, he found nothing but ordinary eggs inside. The farmer had destroyed his source of wealth and learned that his greed had cost him dearly.

The moral of the story is that greed can lead to self-destruction. We should be content with what we have and not try to take everything at once. It's important to be patient and work hard to achieve our goals instead of trying to get rich quickly or taking shortcuts that can lead to disaster.
