a theme that applies.

There was once a Countryman who possessed the most

wonderful Goose you can imagine, for every day when he visited

the nest, the Goose had laid a beautiful, glittering, golden egg.

The Countryman took the eggs to market and soon began to

get rich. But it was not long before he grew impatient with the

Goose because she gave him only a single golden egg a day. He was

not getting rich fast enough.

Then one day, after he had finished counting his money, the idea

came to him that he could get all the golden eggs at once by killing

the Goose and cutting it open. But when the deed was done, not a

single golden egg did he find, and his precious Goose was dead.
