Golden Eggs
Long time ago a remote village, in central China was
inhabited mainly with farmers and hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his
entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his family would
die of starvation.
Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by
his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any
expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your
hardship.”
A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in
his yard. This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly
overcome with joy.
Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the
farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and
spendthrift.
