AESOP'S FABLES 01-02 - THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGGS

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

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.
