A man and his wife had a special chicken. The hen laid one golden egg every day. One day the man and his wife thought that the hen's stomach must be full of golden eggs. They decided to take out all the golden eggs together. They cut the stomach of the chicken and killed it. And then, surprised, he saw that, like any other hen, this hen had no eggs in her stomach. The foolish greedy man became rich overnight and lost what he was getting every day.
Ancient Word: The consequence of greed is defeat.
