<h2>THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGGS</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Man and his Wife had the good fortune to possess 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, and,
imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to
kill it in order to secure the whole store of precious metal at
once. But when they cut it open they found it was just like any
other goose. Thus, they neither got rich all at once, as they had
hoped, nor enjoyed any longer the daily addition to their
wealth.</p>
