The Farmer Who Wanted Tomorrow's Golden Eggs TodayA greedy farmer destroys the goose that gave him one golden egg each day and learns that impatience can ruin a gift.
1. At sunrise, Farmer Bram carried his goose to the nesting box. He hoped for an egg.
2. There it was: a golden egg. Bram nearly dropped it into the hay.
3. Bram sold the egg at the market. That evening, his pockets jingled.
4. The next morning, the goose gave another golden egg. Bram smiled all the way to breakfast.
5. Soon Bram wanted more. One egg each day felt painfully slow.
6. “If I could get tomorrow's eggs today,” he said, “I would be rich by supper.”
7. That night, Bram made a foolish plan. He would open the goose and take every egg at once.
8. In his hurry, Bram destroyed the goose. Inside, there were no eggs at all.
9. Bram sat in the wet grass. His one golden egg was all he had left.
10. After that, Bram waited for good things to grow. But the goose never gave another egg.
11. Bram kept the last egg and cared for his farm. He had learned too late that impatience can ruin a gift.
