The Golden Goose

"The Golden Goose" is a story about a farmer who has a goose laying golden eggs. Instead of being patient, he becomes greedy and kills the goose to get all the gold at once, but finds nothing inside. The moral highlights that greed can lead to loss; patience and moderation often yield better results. It illustrates the importance of valuing steady, consistent gains rather than seeking quick, excessive rewards that may ultimately lead to disappointment.
