The Goose with the Golden Eggs | 生金蛋的鹅

English Original

One morning, a countryman went to his goose's nest and found a yellow, glittering egg there.

He took the egg home. To his delight, he discovered it was an egg of pure gold.

Every morning, the same thing occurred. He soon became rich by selling the eggs.

However, the countryman grew more and more greedy. Desiring all the gold at once, he killed the goose. When he looked inside, he found nothing.


中文翻译

一天早晨,一位农夫来到他的鹅窝,发现里面有一只金灿灿的蛋。

他把蛋带回家,惊喜地发现这是一个纯金的蛋。

此后,同样的事情每天早晨都会发生。通过卖这些金蛋,他很快就变得富有起来。

然而,农夫变得越来越贪婪。他想立刻得到所有的金子,于是杀死了那只鹅。但当他剖开鹅的肚子时,里面却什么也没有。
