One day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering.
一天，一个农夫去他的鹅窝，发现那里有一个全黄闪闪发光的蛋。
The Goose With The Golden Eggs 鹅和金蛋
When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him.
当他拿起它时，它就像铅一样重，他打算扔掉它，因为他认为有人在捉弄他。
But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold.
但他转念一想就把它带回家了，很快就发现这是一个纯金蛋，这让他很高兴。
Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs.
每天早上都会发生同样的事情，他很快就通过卖鸡蛋致富了。
As he grew rich, he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find nothing.
随着他变得富有，他变得贪婪；他想立刻得到鹅能给的所有金子，于是把它杀死，打开后却一无所获。
Greed often overreaches itself.
贪婪者常常自食其果.
