Long long ago，there was a man living in a village with his wife and two children．They had a hen．It laid a golden egg every day．The man sold the golden egg and the family lived a rich and comfortable life．

    But the man was very greedy （贪婪的）．He wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen at a time．So，he thought hard every day about how to achieve it and he got a plan at last．He decided to kill the hen and get all the eggs．He didn't want to tell his wife about the plan because he wanted to give her a big surprise．He was so excited about his great plan．He even started to sing when he thought of the plan．

    The next day when the hen laid a golden egg，the man couldn't wait to take a knife and cut its body open．However，there was nothing but blood （血液）all around．There weren't any eggs at all．He was very sad because he would not get even one egg now．Their life used to be comfortable with one egg a day，but now their life changed a lot．
