Read:
Once upon a time there was a peasant couple who had a very special goose. Every now and then, almost every day, she laid a golden egg. It was enormous luck, but before long they began to think they could get richer if she laid an egg like that every hour, or whenever they wanted.
They talked about it over and over, wondering what they would do with so much gold.
– How silly we are waiting for ____________ to get out of this goose a little bit... The goose must have inside it a special way of making gold. This was what we needed.
- That's right. There must be a machine, a device, something like that. If we get it for us, we don't need goose anymore.
– Yeah… It was better to have it all at once. And get very rich. And they decided to kill the goose to get all the gold.
But inside there was nothing different from the other geese they had seen – just meat, tripe, fat…
And they didn't take any more gold. They didn't even get a golden egg, ever again.
