A cottager and his wife had a Goose that laid a golden egg every day. They supposed that the Goose must contain a great lump of gold in its inside, and in order to get the gold they killed it. Having done so, they found to their surprise that the Goose differed in no respect from their other geese. The foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of the gain of which they were assured day by day.
Moral Lesson:
Each person must not give in to greed, as greed leads to nothing but failure and problems.
Reflection:
This story teaches us the value of contentedness. When we receive blessings, we must be grateful for it. we should not be like the couple who demanded for more gold and found nothing. The couple gave in to greed. Greed is sin, and it will cause nothing good.
