Once upon a time, there lived a cloth merchant in a village with his wife and two children.
They were indeed quite well-off. they had a beautiful hen which laid an egg every day. it was not an ordinary egg, rather, a golden egg. but the man was not satisfied with what he used to get daily. He was a get-rich-quick kind of person.
The man wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen in a single go. So, one day he thought hard and at last thought of a plan. He decided to kill the hen and get all the eggs together.
So, the next day when the hen laid a golden egg, the caught hold of it, took a sharp knife, chopped off its neck and cut its body open. There was nothing but blood all around and no trace of any egg at all.
He as highly grived because now he would not get even a single egg.
