Text 1 The Golden EggsLong time ago, a remote village in central China was inhabited

mainly with farmers and hunters. One day, a farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help, otherwise his family would die of starvation.

Few days, an old man with grey beard, passed by his house took pityon him. He gave him a goose and said, “I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and I hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.”

A week later to his utmost surprise, the farmer found an egg in hisyard. This was not ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.

Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.

Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. Thegreedy farmer lost his patience and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.

Though, he regretted very much for his foolishness, it’s already too late.
