Once upon a time there was a poor farmer in a village. One day he bought a goose from market. The goose was vey strange. It laid golden eggs everyday. The farmer became a rich man very soon. But he was very greedy. He wanted to be the richest man in the village. So he wanted to have all the eggs at a time. One day a wicked idea came to his mind.
