The Goose with the Golden Eggs

A farmer went to the nest of his goose to see whether she had laid an egg. To his surprise he found, instead of an ordinary eff, an egg of solid gold. Seizing the golden egg he rushed to the house in great excitement to show it to his wife.

Everyday thereafter the gooose laid an egg of pure gold. But as the farmer grew rich he grew greedy. And thinking that if he killed the goose he could have all her treasure at once, he cut her open only to find - nothing at all.

Aseop's Fable
Moral: The greedy who want more lose all.

Reading this to my daughter all I could think about was our government and their greedy agenda's.
