A man and his wife owned a very special goose. Every day the would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich.

“Just think,” said the man’s wife, “If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose, we could be richer much faster.”

“You’re right,” said her husband, “We wouldn’t have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day.”

So, the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs.

Did this for a Graphic Design class, where we were given a fable about the goose who laid the golden eggs and make a poster based on it, illustrating the moral. For me, since the goose was their main source of income, up until they killed it and not finding what they were looking for. No more goose -> no more eggs -> no more money (unless if they earn it some other way ;D).
