The Hen And The Golden Eggs
Aesop Fable: The Hen And The Golden Eggs
A cottager and his wife had a Hen that laid a golden egg
every day. They supposed that the Hen must contain a great
lump of gold in its inside, and in order to get the gold they
killed it.
Having done so, they found to their surprise that
the Hen differed in no respect from their other hens.
The
foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived
themselves of the gain of which they were assured day by day.
