Aesop Fables – The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs Sample Text:
Pupil 2:                 We wanted more! Like a season ticket, more!

Teacher:              Hmm. I think you can now see what was going on in your heads?

Pupil 1:                 You’re right. It was greed.

Pupil 2:                 Wanting more, a lot more than what we had!

Teacher:              And you know something? You’ll probably enjoy that match this weekend all the more, for it being a one-off, something special, something to relish, enjoy every moment of.

Narrator:             Yes, I’m sure you’ll appreciate the experience more than your season ticket friend. It’s funny how more is not always better.

Farmer:                As we know!

Wife:                     If only we could turn the clock back.
