He was very happy and surprised when he saw that there was an egg in the nest. The egg was all yellow and glittering. When he picked it up it was as heavy as a big stone and Mr. Smith was going to throw it away, because he thought someone had played a trick on him. But he took it home on second thought and found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold!  \nEvery morning the goose laid a golden egg, and Mr. Smith soon became rich by selling the golden eggs. As he grew rich, Mr. Smith also grew more greedy; and thinking he could get all the gold the goose could give, one day he killed the goose and opened it only to ̊nd nothing inside. Mr. Smith soon lost all his money and was poor the rest of his life. He always thought,“If only I was not greedy and did not kill the goose!”","cbCaitw3vXkde3M6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitw3vXkde3M6","pdf",170103,7,"English","en",105,"","[{\"question\":\"What was unusual about Mr. Smith's goose?\",\"answer\":\"Mr. Smith's goose was unusual because it laid an egg of pure gold every morning.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Mr. Smith become rich?\",\"answer\":\"Mr. Smith became rich by selling the golden eggs that his goose laid.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the consequence of Mr. Smith's greed?\",\"answer\":\"Mr. Smith's greed led him to kill the goose, after which he found no gold inside and became poor again for the rest of his life.\"}]",1784310453,11,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":24,"description":14,"schema_data":32,"social_meta":83,"head_meta":85,"extra_data":87,"updated_unix":26},"the-goose-who-laid-the-golden-eggs",{"@graph":33,"@context":82},[34,51,65],{"@type":35,"itemListElement":36},"BreadcrumbList",[37,41,45,48],{"item":38,"name":39,"@type":40,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":42,"name":43,"@type":40,"position":44},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":46,"name":12,"@type":40,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":49,"name":13,"@type":40,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-goose-who-laid-the-golden-eggs/91977/",4,{"url":49,"name":13,"@type":52,"author":53,"headline":13,"publisher":55,"fileFormat":58,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":59,"datePublished":59,"encodingFormat":58,"isAccessibleForFree":60,"interactionStatistic":61},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":54},"Person",{"url":38,"name":56,"@type":57},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":62,"interactionType":63,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":64},"ViewAction",{"@type":66,"mainEntity":67},"FAQPage",[68,74,78],{"name":69,"@type":70,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What was unusual about Mr. Smith's goose?","Question",{"text":72,"@type":73},"Mr. Smith's goose was unusual because it laid an egg of pure gold every morning.","Answer",{"name":75,"@type":70,"acceptedAnswer":76},"How did Mr. Smith become rich?",{"text":77,"@type":73},"Mr. Smith became rich by selling the golden eggs that his goose laid.",{"name":79,"@type":70,"acceptedAnswer":80},"What was the consequence of Mr. Smith's greed?",{"text":81,"@type":73},"Mr. Smith's greed led him to kill the goose, after which he found no gold inside and became poor again for the rest of his life.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":49,"og:type":84,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":56,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":86,"canonical":49},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":89},[90,93,97,101,106,111,115,120,125,128,132],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":91,"slug":92},90,"story-novel",{"id":44,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":50,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":102,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":103,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":105},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":107,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":121,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":124},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":127},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":129,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":129,"slug":131},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":43,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":135},19,"General","general"]
