The Hen that laid Golden Egg
Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a humble farmer named Ram. Among his flock of chickens was a special hen named Goldie, who one day laid a shimmering golden egg. Ram was astonished and delighted, as this golden egg was pure gold. Every morning, Goldie laid another golden egg, making Ram the talk of the village and bringing him newfound wealth.
With his riches, Ram improved his home, bought new clothes, and generously helped his fellow villagers. However, over time, his curiosity and greed grew. Ram wondered if there was an even greater treasure inside Goldie. He thought, “If I can get all the gold at once, I could do so much more.”
Driven by impatience, Ram decided to sacrifice Goldie, believing he would find a trove of golden eggs inside her. To his horror, there was no hidden treasure—just an ordinary hen. Ram's greed had blinded him to the simple truth: patience and gratitude would have continued to bring him fortune.
The villagers mourned the loss of Goldie, and Ram was left with deep regret. He realized too late that he had sacrificed a lifetime of wealth and happiness for a fleeting, misguided ambition. The tale of Ram and Goldie became a cautionary story, reminding everyone that greed and impatience can lead to the loss of true blessings.
