There lived and old farmer and his wife in a village.
They worked hard every day.
One day ,the farmer brought a goose.
He and his wife took great care of it.
It was morning. "What is all this?" The farmer was surprised.
The goose laid a golden egg!
"Honey, honey! Come over here now!
The wife saw the golden egg, too.
"Oh, my God. what is all this?"
The next morning, the farmer and his wife went to see the goose nest.
There was a golden egg that day too.
" Honey, now we're rich, we're rich!"
The goose laid a golden egg everyday.
The farmer and his wife became rich.
The couple didn't work any more.
They got lazier every day.
"I wish the goose could lay two golden eggs a day."
They got more and more greedy.
The farmer and his wife gave the goose more of good food.
Still, the goose laid one golden egg a day.
"Maybe this is not the right way to do it."
The farmer's wife made the goose nest warmer.
But the goose laid only one golden egg a day.
"There must be a lot of golden eggs in the stomach of the goose!"
said the farmer. "You are right!" said his wife.
The farmer and his wife cut the goose's belly open.
But there was nothing in it. The goose died.
The farmer and his wife regretted it. They buried the goose.
And they worked hard again.
