Next day, he was surprised to see that his new duck had laid a golden egg.
He called out his wife "Oh my wife, our new duck is a special one. She laid a golden egg for us."
His wife cried with joy and said, "Oh such a heavy egg. We are rich now."
Each morning the duck laid a golden egg for them. The farmer and his wife sold the egg each day and they bought new and expensive things every day.
One day farmer's wife said, "We are getting only one golden egg every day. There may be more golden eggs inside her stomach. Why shouldn't we get all the eggs at once? We should open her up and take all the eggs."
Hearing this farmer killed his duck and opened her up. But to his surprise, there were no eggs inside her.
They lost their good duck who laid golden eggs for them everyday.
Thereafter the farmer and his wife led miserable life thinking about the foolishness they had done.
Moral:: Greedy people end up with nothing.
