Once there lived a poor farmer in a village. He owned a hen that had a strange but valuable quality. Every morning, it laid a golden egg. The farmer sold the eggs in the market and earned enough money to live comfortably. In a short time, he became a wealthy man.
However, his happiness did not last long because he became extremely greedy. Although he was already earning a golden egg every day, he wanted to become rich overnight. He began to think about how he could get all the golden eggs at once.
One day, he said to himself, âThe hen must have many golden eggs inside its body. If I kill it and take them all out, I will become much richer immediately.â
Driven by greed, he caught the hen and killed it. Then he cut open its body. But to his great disappointment, he found nothing inside. There was not even a single golden egg.
The farmer was shocked. He realized that his greed had destroyed the very source of his wealth. The hen was dead, and he would never receive another golden egg from it.
He felt deeply sorry for his foolish action. But regret could not change what had already happened. He had lost the valuable thing he already possessed because he wanted to gain everything at once.
Thus, the farmer learned that excessive greed can destroy one’s happiness and prosperity.

At first, he was grateful for his good fortune. But after becoming rich, he grew greedy. One golden egg every day no longer seemed enough to him. He wanted to possess all the eggs at once.
One day, he began thinking, âIf this hen lays golden eggs every day, there must be many golden eggs inside its body. Why should I wait for one egg each day? If I kill the hen, I can get all the eggs immediately.â

Once there lived a poor farmer who earned his living through hard work. Though he struggled to support his family, he was content with his simple life. One day, his fortune changed unexpectedly when he acquired a hen that laid a golden egg every morning.
The farmer could hardly believe his good fortune. He sold the golden eggs in the market and gradually became wealthy. His financial condition improved, and he could provide a better life for his family. However, instead of remaining grateful and patient, he soon became consumed by greed.
He began to think, âIf this hen produces a golden egg every day, it must have a great number of golden eggs inside its body. Why should I wait for one egg at a time? If I kill the hen, I can collect all the eggs immediately and become extremely rich.â
Blinded by greed, the farmer ignored the obvious consequences of his plan. He caught the hen, killed it and cut open its body. To his utter disappointment, he found nothing inside. There was not a single golden egg.
The farmer was overwhelmed with regret. He realized that the hen had not contained a hidden treasure; its real value was its ability to produce one golden egg every day. By trying to gain everything at once, he had destroyed the very source of his wealth.
He sat helplessly and regretted his foolishness. Had he been patient, he could have continued receiving a golden egg every day and remained prosperous. But his excessive greed had deprived him of everything.
Thus, the farmer learned a painful lesson about greed and impatience. The story reminds us that we should value what we have and avoid sacrificing a steady benefit for the sake of immediate gain.
