Once in a small barrio, a farmer had a good hen that
laid a golden egg every day. The egg provided just enough
money for the farmer and his wife for their day-to-day needs.
They were happy for a long time. But one day, the farmer got
an idea. He thought, “Why should I take just one egg a day?
Why can’t I take all of them at once and make a lot of
money?” The foolish farmer’s wife agreed and decided to cut
the hen’s stomach open for all the eggs. As soon as they killed
the poor bird and opened its stomach, all they found were its
internal organs; not one single egg.
