• The Farmer and the Golden Goose

Avarice

Once upon a time, a farmer and his wife lived in a small village. They didn’t have much money and lived a simple life. One day, the farmer found a goose that looked different from all the other geese. He decided to bring it home and take care of it.

The next morning, the farmer saw something amazing—a golden egg next to the goose! The farmer and his wife were so surprised. They sold the egg and got a lot of money. Every day after that, the goose laid one golden egg, and soon, they became rich.

But after a while, they wanted even more money. They thought if the goose could lay golden eggs, there must be a lot of gold inside it. So, they decided to get all the gold at once by cutting the goose open.

But when the farmer cut the goose open, there was no gold inside. By killing the goose, they lost the special thing that made them rich. There were no more golden eggs, and they realized they had made a big mistake. Now, they weren’t rich anymore because they were too greedy and wanted everything too quickly.
