"See these valuable golden eggs," said a man who owned a goose. "Surely a goose which can lay such eggs must have a gold mine inside her."
So he killed the goose and cut her open, but found that she was just like any other goose. Moreover, on examining the eggs that she had laid, he found they were just like any other eggs.
“看看这些宝贵的金蛋，”一个拥有一只鹅的人说。“一只能下这种蛋的鹅，体内一定有一座金矿。”
于是，他杀死了鹅，将其剖开，却发现她和任何其他鹅没什么两样。此外，在检查她所下的蛋时，他发现那些蛋也和普通的蛋一模一样。
