Once, a farmer lived a comfortable life with his family. His chickens laid many eggs which the farmer used to sell to buy food and clothing for his family. One day, he went to collect the eggs and discovered one of the chickens laid a gold egg. He shouted excitedly to his wife: “We’re rich! We’re rich!” His wife wanted more, so her husband decided to cut open all the chicken and find more gold eggs. Unlikely, they couldn’t find any eggs. When he finished, all the chickens were dead.
