The Golden Eggs
Long time ago in 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 prayer
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 and 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 ease your hardship”
A week later to his greates surprise the farmer found
an egg in his yard. This was not ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He
was enjoyed to this miracle.
Thereafter, the livelihood had
rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became
lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.
Strangely, the goose only laid
one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his patience and
slaugrtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its
stomach.
Though he very much regretted
for his foolishness but it’s already too
late. Finally, the greedy farmer went back to hiss poor life

Telur emas
Pada zaman dahulu di sebuah desa remote, di pusat china tinggalah
penduduk dengan pekerjaan sebgai petani dan pemburu.
Suatu hari, seorang petani miskin kehilangan stok makananya karena
banjir. Dia berdoa keras pada tuhan, untuk membantunya atau keluarganya akan
mati karena kelapaan.
Beberapa hari kemudian, seorang laki-laki tua dengan jenggot
abu- abu yang panjang , melewati
rumahya dan mengasihinya. Dia memberikan seekor angsa dan berkata, “ saya tidak
punya sesuatu yang mahal untuk diberikan kepada kamu dan berharap angsa ini
akan membantu memudahkan kesulitanmu”
Seminggu kemudian dia
dikejutkan sebuah telur yang
ditemukan oleh petani di pekaranganya.
Itu bukan telur biasa. Itu telur emas.
Dia menikmati keajaiban itu.
Setelah itu mata pencaharianya berubah dengan cepat
tetapi petani itu lupa dengan kesengsaranya yang dulu. Dia menjadi malas,
angkuh, dan pemboros.
Anehnya, angsa hanya meletakkan
satu telur emas setiap enam bulan
sekali. Petani yang tamak kehilangan kesabaranya dan memotong angsanya yang dia fikir ada banyak telur emas di dalam
lambungnya.
Meskipun
begitu dia sangat menyesal karena
kebodohanya yang sudah terlambat. Akhirnya, petani tamak kembali pada
kehidupanya yang miskin.
