A story as narrated by the Grandparents to their Grandchildren
Good evening little ones. All set for your bedtime story? Now let me see what lies in my bag of stories. Ah, here is one that my Grandmother used to tell me.
Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer. He toiled from morning to dusk. Taking pity on him the Goddess of Fortune granted him a gift. The gift was a red hen which would lay a golden egg a day.
On the first day the farmer was surprised to see a golden egg. He took it to the goldsmith and got handsomely paid. With the money the ‘farmer ate a hearty meal’ and bought many ‘clothes’.
And the next day's ‘golden egg’ he renovated his house. After few days he began to lead his life as a wealthy man. The humble farmer now became a ‘proud and greedy man’. He now wanted a big mansion bustling with servants at his service. So he ‘caught’ hold of the ‘red hen’ and split it open hoping to extract all the ‘golden eggs’ at one time.
This ruined his fate. All was lost and he was reduced to the plight of the poor farmer again.
Moral: one should never be greedy
So children never be greedy. Now sleep well dear ones. Sweet dreams.
