Answer:

This idiom originates from one of Aesop’s fables in which a farmer and his wife had a goose that laid one golden egg every day. The couple decided to butcher the goose as they thought its insides must be made of gold as well and then they can have all the golden eggs it held within. On killing the goose, they found that the bird was just the same as every other goose on the inside. So the couple lost their means of livelihood. Source: theidioms.com
