The Golden Eggs

Long time ago, there was a poor farmer who lived in Central China. The flood had destroyed his farm, including his cattle. Every day, he always prayed to God. He wished that his family would not die because of hunger. A few days later, an old man with a long gray beard passed by. He saw the farmer and felt sorry for him. He then gave him a goose and said, “I don’t have any expensive thing to give to you. I hope this goose will help your family. But, don’t forget to work hard.” A week later, the farmer was surprised to find an egg in his yard. This was not an ordinary egg, it was a golden egg. He was verry happy. Then, he sold the egg to the market. He got lots of money to buy some foods and clothes for his family. After that, every month the goose laid a golden egg. The farmer’s livelihood then improved rapidly. He became lazy and arrogant. He didn’t work on his farm anymore. He just stayed at home, waiting for the golden egg to come out. Strangely, the goose now laid only one egg every six months. That made the farmer lose his patience and slaughter the goose. He thought that there should be plenty of eggs in its stomach. However, he didn’t find anything. He then realized what he had done. He regretted his greed very much, but it was too late. Where did the story happen?
