There lived a greedy young man in a village. He had a strange hen. It daily laid an egg of solid gold. He sold the egg at a very high price. Within a few days, he became very rich. The people were very much impressed by his riches. He was respected everywhere. But as time passed, he became more and more greedy. He was so impatient that he could not wait for several months. He did not wait for the eggs to come out one by one. He thought of a plan to fulfill his desire. He wanted to become rich at once. One day he killed the hen. He wanted to get all the eggs at once. He opened the stomach of the hen and looked for the eggs. He was much surprised to find no egg in the stomach at all. Now he realized his folly. He repented but he could never get such eggs in the future.
Moral:
- Tit for tat.
- As you sow, so shall you reap.
