A farmer once owned a goose that produced one golden egg daily. The farmer and his wife received enough money from the egg to cover their daily expenses. For a very long period, the farmer and his wife were content.
The farmer, however, questioned why they should only take one egg per day one day. Why can't we purchase them all at once and profit greatly? The farmer's wife mistakenly agreed to his plan after hearing it from him.
The farmer was quick with a sharp knife the following day as the goose laid its golden egg. In an effort to uncover all of the goose's golden eggs, he murdered the bird and cut open its stomach. But, He only discovered guts and blood when he opened the stomach.
The farmer immediately recognized his stupid error and started crying over his lost resource. The farmer and his wife got poorer and poorer as the days passed. How naive and cursed they were.
