The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg
An Aesop Fable
A man and his wife owned a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich.
"Just think," said the man's wife, "If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose, we could be richer much faster."
"You're right," said her husband, "We wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day."
So, the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs.
Too much greed results in nothing.
Goose laying problem...help!
Aww, poor goose.
Stupid man...it seems appropriate:0)
I hear ya. Sad but true!
Now relate that to oil, mineral and gas companies
Or the ownership of internet sites.
So true, porkpal. So true.
So true... I now have baby gooses, 9 of them again... Green not golden.. and my adults are still alive, Just sayin..
Sorry but I could not help but take note of Catsy's comment after the story. "Stupid man". I went back and reread the story, now maybe I'm missing something but wasn't this whole idea initiated by the WIFE...Hmmm...Hay
