This is the classic fable of the goose that laid golden eggs, told in Hindi about a poor farmer named Ramu whose hen laid golden eggs daily. Ramu became wealthy but his greed led him to kill the hen expecting to find many eggs inside, only to lose everything when he found nothing.
Summary
The story follows Ramu, a poor farmer who discovers his hen has laid a golden egg. Initially skeptical, he sells it at the market and receives good money. The hen continues laying one golden egg daily, gradually making Ramu wealthy with fine clothes, a big house, and abundant money. However, Ramu's success breeds greed and impatience. He begins thinking that if the hen lays one egg daily, there must be many golden eggs stored in its belly. Driven by this greedy logic, he kills the hen and cuts open its stomach, expecting to find multiple golden eggs. Instead, he finds nothing - the hen is dead and his source of daily golden eggs is gone forever. Ramu deeply regrets his mistake but realizes it's too late; his greed has cost him everything. The story concludes with the moral lesson that greed is a terrible vice.
