That’s a terrific news.
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
patience 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.
