The Hen with the Golden Eggs

A man had a fine hen that laid golden eggs. Believing she had a lump of gold inside her, he killed her, and found her just like any other hen. He had hoped to find riches all at once, and so deprived himself even of the small profit he already had.

We should be content with what we have and avoid insatiable greed.
