　　He took the egg home. To his delight, he found that it was an egg of pure gold.

　　Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs.

　　The countryman became more and more greedy. He wanted to get all the gold at once, so he killed the goose, when he looked inside, he found nothing in its body.

　　他將蛋帶回家，驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)這是一個(gè)金蛋。

　　此后，農(nóng)夫每天都能得到一個(gè)金蛋。從此，他靠賣(mài)他的金蛋變得富有起來(lái)。

　　農(nóng)夫變得越來(lái)越貪婪，他想一下子得到鵝肚子中所有的金蛋。于是他殺死了鵝，但是，鵝肚子中什么也沒(méi)有。
