Almost everyone heard of this classic story before.
Let me tell you again here:
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
Morals:
Much wants more yet often loses all.
Greed destroys the source of good.
Think before you act.
Do you have a golden goose? Or YOU are the golden
goose?
