a Farmer Who Was Saved By a Goose
Long time ago a remote village, in central China, was inhabited mainly with farmers and hunters.
One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock because of flood. He prayed to God for help or his family would die of starvation.
Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said, " I don't have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship."
A week later to almost surprise the farmers found an egg in his yard. This wasn't 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 hard-ship. He became lazy, arrogant, and spendthrift.
Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six month. The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.
Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it's already too late.
moral value : It is useless to regret what happened.
