Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly
with farmers and hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his entire
livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his family would
die of starvation.
Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house
took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any
expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease
your hardship.”
A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard.
This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome
with joy.
Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had
forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and
spendthrift.
Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The
greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there
were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.
Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.
