The Goose with the Golden Eggs
下金蛋的鹅
A man and his wife owned a very special goose.
一个男人和他的妻子拥有一只奇特的鹅。
Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich.
这只鹅每天都会下一个金蛋，所以这对夫妇非常富有。
"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."
“想想看，” 男人的妻子说，“要是我们能一下子得到鹅肚子里的所有金蛋，我们就能在更短的时间里变得更富有了。”
"You're right," said her husband, "We wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day."
“你说得对，” 丈夫说，“我们没必要每天等鹅下蛋。”

So, the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose.
于是，这对夫妇把鹅杀了，剖开了她的肚子，却发现这只鹅跟其他鹅并没有什么不同。
She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs.
她的肚子里根本没有金蛋，他们再也不会有金蛋了。
Too much greed results in nothing.
贪得无厌的结果只会是一无所有。
