THE HEN WITH THE SILVER EGGS

One day, in an Arabian city, a woman went to the market and bought a beautiful hen. A few days later to her surprise the hen she bought laid a silver egg. If the hen could only be persuaded to lay more than one egg each day, the woman was sure she would never have work again.

So the woman decided to make the hen eat more, so that it could lay more eggs

But the only result was that the hen died of indigestion and did not lay more eggs at all
