Man and chicken

Man and chicken
Enlight

One man had a hen that laid golden eggs every day. But the owner was very greedy; this was not enough for him. One day he grabbed a chicken and killed it: he thought he would find treasure inside. But he miscalculated: there were only giblets there.

And this man thought: “I wanted to gain, but I lost even what I had.”

The conclusion is clear: if someone only wants to fill his purse, he will lose even what he has because of his greed.
