A man had a hen that laid golden eggs. Thinking there was a lump of gold inside her, he killed her, only to find that she was just like any other hen. Hoping to gain a fortune all at once, he lost even the modest wealth he had.

Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι δεῖ τοῖς παροῦσιν ἀρκεῖσθαι καὶ τὴν ἀπληστίαν φεύγειν.
