Aesops Fables (Selections) 七五下金蛋的鹅 一天，农夫在鹅的窝里看到一枚黄澄澄的鹅蛋闪闪发光，他拾起来一 掂，蛋竞然像铅一样沉甸甸的，农夫以为这是有人故意捉弄他，就想把蛋扔 掉，但是转念一想，又把蛋带回了家。他把蛋仔仔细细地察看了一番，惊喜 地发现这居然是一枚纯金的鹅蛋。从此，这只鹅每天早上都产下一枚金蛋， 农夫靠卖金蛋，很快就发了大财。农夫的钱越多，他的心就变得越贪婪。他 想一下子拿到所有的金蛋，于是就把鹅宰了，剖开鹅的肚子，却什么也没有 找到。 贪婪的人经常被贪婪所害。 LXXV The Goose with the Golden Eggs One day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering.When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away,because he thought a trick had been played upon him.But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold.Every morning the same thing occurred2,and he soon became rich by selling his eggs.As he grew rich he grew greedy;and thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give,he killed it and opened it only to find nothing.
