The egg provided enough money for the daily needs of the farmer and his wife. But one day the farmer thought why he should take only one egg a day. And said why can’t I take them all at once and make a lot of money? The foolish woman also agreed and decided to cut open the goose’s stomach for the eggs. No sooner had they killed the bird and opened up the goose’s belly to find nothing but guts and blood. The farmer, realizing his stupid mistake, cries over the lost resource.
