　　One day,the man saw a fat goose run by,so he caught it.“What a hearty meal you willl make!"said the man.“Tonight my stomach will be full."
　　“Do not eat me!”cried the goose.“I am a goose like no other.If you feed me and take care of me,I will lay golden eggs for you."”
　　“Can this be true?"the man wondered.“Since this goose can talk,perhaps it can lay golden eggs,too.I will give it a chance(机会).”So the man took the goose home and fed it the last food in his kitchen,even though he had to go to bed hungry that night..
As soon as he woke up the next morning,the man rushed over to the goose.Under the goose he found a large,shiny egg made of gold.He took the egg to the market and sold it for lots of money.When he came home,his arms were full of food,including good food for the goose.
　　Each day,the goose laid another golden egg and the man sold it.Before long,the man was very rich,yet he wanted to become even richer.“Why should I spend so much money on food for the goose?"he asked himself.He decided to cut the goose open and get all the golden eggs at once.
　　The man cut the goose open and found no golden eggs.“What have I done?"he cried.
