The Chicken that laid the Golden eggs (read by Midnight Dream)

Once there was a Stallion and a Mare. They owned a magic chicken that would lay 1 solid golden egg per day. Although that chicken made them very rich, The stallion noticed that it took SO long for at least 1 egg (at least a day). So the mare devised a plan to cut open the chicken ("surely it's made of gold on the inside", she said to the stallion one night). When they finally cut it open, they were disappointed to find that it was like any other corpse! No gold! Then they realized their mistake of cutting open the chicken. For now not only did they no longer get richer, but they no longer had the means of getting their daily profits.

Moral of story:Much wants more but loses all
