THE DUCK AND THE GOLDEN EGG MORAL STORY

There was an egg seller, who sold eggs of hen, duck, and many other birds. The earnings were low and his family lived in poverty. A Swamiji donated a duck to the merchant saying, "Look, poor merchant, this duck will solve all your problems. Keep it safe and healthy." The egg seller brought the duck home and waited eagerly to see what would happen.

The next day, when he went to his backyard to collect the eggs, he was astonished to see a golden egg lying near the duck. "Look here my dear wife, look here," the egg seller cried in joy to his wife. He sold the golden egg in the pawnshop and bought many things for his family. Each day, the duck laid exactly one golden egg.

Days passed on. Slowly, the egg seller became rich. Then came the real problem. The egg seller's wife turned greedy. She told her husband, "Darling, for how long should we enjoy with only one egg per day? If we open the duck's belly, we would be getting many eggs at a time. We can become rich all at once." The foolish egg seller listened to his wife. He cut open the duck. Alas, there was not even one egg. It was now too late for him to repent.

Moral: GREED LEADS TO MISERY!

But, when you go to the fish the fish have right to chase you off." Saying this, the frog leapt away saying to itself, "Oh God! I've been lucky today to have escaped."
