    In a small village lived a farmer who was known far and wide for his exceptional goose. Every day, his goose would lay a beautiful golden egg.

    The goose was no ordinary bird. It had a unique talent - it could lay a golden egg every day. This made the farmer very wealthy.

    With each passing day, the farmer's wealth increased. But with wealth came greed. The farmer started thinking about becoming richer faster.

    He thought, 'Why should I wait for the goose to lay one golden egg a day? Why not get all the eggs at once?' His greed started to overtake his common sense.

    In his greed, the farmer decided to kill the goose thinking it had a lot of golden eggs inside its stomach. He wanted all of them at once.

    With a heavy heart, he killed his precious goose. He cut open its stomach, only to find nothing inside. His hopes shattered in an instant.

    The farmer was filled with immense regret for his foolish act. He realized that his greed had led to the loss of his golden egg-laying goose.
