THE GOLDEN EGGS

*     Once a couple named Gopal and Suman
       lived in a small town.

*     They had a beautiful goose that an egg of  gold everyday.

*     The golden eggs made them rich. A life of 
        some luxury and comforts they lived.

*      But Gopal was a greedy fellow. He
        wanted to be rich overnight.

*      An egg a day looked too little to him.He
        wanted all the eggs at a time right away.

*      There could be a gold mine inside that
         bird. So, he decided to killthe goose to get          all the gold eggs.

*      Early next morning as the goose laid the
        golden egg, Gopal grabbed its neck.

*      He killed the bird and cut its belly open               with a sharp knife.

*      But ! There was no gold mine or stock of             golden eggs inside that bird. 

*      Realising his folly, Gopal cried and                     clutched his head. What a fool he was!

*     With no gold eggs coming any more Gopal
        and Suman became poor and 

MORAL: Greed is mother of foolishness.
