Grasp all loss all/Greedy Farmer/Farmer and the golden goose/ Greedy dog


There had been a greedy dog. One day he stole a piece of meat from a farmer’s kitchen. Taking it in his mouth, he started to run away from the place. He was looking for a suitable place to eat the piece. While he was running with it, on the way he had to cross a bridge of a small stream. While walking on the bridge he saw his own reflection in the water below. He thought that it was another dog, which might snatch his piece of meat. So he began to bark. But alas! During barking, his piece of meat fell from his mouth in the stream below and he was disappointed. He understood that grasp all loss all.

There lived a farmer in a village. He had a wonderful goose. The goose laid an egg of gold every day. The farmer was very greedy. He thought that the stomach of the goose was full of eggs. If he could get all the eggs at a time, he would be a rich man quickly. In order to satisfy his greed, he cut the belly of the goose but found no egg there. He became extremely disappointed and lost the valuable goose forever. Instead of becoming rich he became poor. Through this incident the farmer understood that over greediness brought misfortune for him.
