　　我們常用殺雞取卵來比喻貪圖眼前利益而不顧長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)利益。下面是這故事跟殺雞取卵差不多，只不過人家殺的是鵝。

　　The Goose with the Golden Eggs

　　Once upon a time, there lived a farmer in a small town. The farmer worked hard on his farm. One day, a weird-looking goose came to the farm.

　　Tying up the goose, the farmer was thinking, 'I should cook this goose for breakfast in the morning.' The next day, the farmer approached the goose to cook it.

　　However, the farmer was startled. The goose had laid a golden egg. "How did the goose that lays golden eggs come to me?" The farmer was so happy that he danced cheerfully.

　　The farmer was able to get a golden egg every morning. In the market, everybody loved to buy the golden eggs. Getting weary of working, the farmer did not want to farm.

　　'Perhaps, there must be an enormous amount of gold in that goose's stomach. Although it looks like an ordinary goose, it lays golden eggs.' The farmer was determined to open the goose's stomach. He wanted to be rich instantly rather than gradually.

　　The farmer cut the goose's stomach open with scissors. But, he found nothing but just what any other goose would have. "Why! How could this be?" regretted the farmer, but it was no use. The goose was already dead.

　　參考翻譯

　　從前，在一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)上住著一個(gè)農(nóng)民。農(nóng)夫在農(nóng)場(chǎng)辛勤勞動(dòng)。有一天，一只奇怪的鵝來到農(nóng)場(chǎng)。

　　農(nóng)夫把鵝捆起來，心里想：“我早上要把這只鵝當(dāng)早餐吃。”第二天，農(nóng)夫走近鵝把它煮了。

　　然而，農(nóng)夫驚呆了。這只鵝已經(jīng)下了一個(gè)金蛋。”那只放金蛋的'鵝是怎么來找我的?”農(nóng)夫高興得手舞足蹈。

　　農(nóng)夫每天早上都能得到一個(gè)金蛋。在市場(chǎng)上，每個(gè)人都喜歡買金蛋。厭倦了工作，農(nóng)夫不想耕種。

　　也許，那只鵝的胃里一定有大量的金子。雖然它看起來像一只普通的鵝，但它卻下了金蛋。他想立即致富而不是逐漸致富。

　　農(nóng)夫用剪刀把鵝的肚子切開。但是，他什么也沒找到，只是別的鵝都會(huì)有的。”為什么!怎么會(huì)這樣呢?”農(nóng)夫很后悔，但沒有用。那只鵝已經(jīng)死了。
