Once there was a farmer who had a goose. One day, he found a golden egg in the goose's nest. When he took it home he realized the egg was made out of pure gold.
Every morning, the goose laid a gold egg and the farmer became rich after selling the eggs.
As the farmer grew rich he grew greedy, and he wanted to take all the gold from inside the goose. He killed the goose and opened it only to find nothing.
