The goose that lays the golden eggs

A man and his wife were lucky enough to have a goose that laid a golden egg every day. Even with all this luck, they thought they were getting rich very slowly, that it wasn't possible that way.

Imagining that the goose must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it and take all that fortune at once.

But when they opened the goose's belly, they saw that inside it was just like all the others.

This is how the two did not become rich all at once, as they had imagined, nor were they able to continue receiving the golden egg that every day increased their fortune a little.

Moral: Whoever wants everything, loses everything.
