"The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs"

     A man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose that laid a golden egg every day.  Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough.  Imagining that the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it.  Then, they thought, they could obtain the whole store of precious metal at once.  But when they cut the goose open, they found it was just like any other goose.

    The moral is to appreciate & be thankful for what you have, and not to take advantage of something or someone.

    I think the moral of the story is that even though someone may be better or worse on the outside, everybody is the same on the inside

    Moral: Don't be greedy; if you are lucky enough to have what you need or more, don't push your luck or hurry it.
