A Retelling of Aesop's Fable (Read-It! Readers)
Book • 1990
The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs is one of Aesop's most famous fables, teaching a lesson about greed and the importance of valuing long-term gain over immediate gratification.
The story centers on a farmer who owns a goose that lays a single golden egg every day.
Overjoyed by this daily treasure, the farmer soon becomes impatient and greedy, desiring all the gold at once.
In his impatience, he kills the goose, hoping to find a large quantity of golden eggs inside.
However, upon cutting open the goose, he finds nothing but ordinary innards, losing both the goose and the daily source of gold.
The fable illustrates the destructive nature of greed and the foolishness of sacrificing future prosperity for immediate wealth.
