The Goose and the Golden Eggs
One day a countryman going to the nest of his goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering. When he took it up it was as heavy as a large rock. He was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs. As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find -- nothing.

The Old Man And The Sea (a part from the book)
He was an old man who fished alone in the Gulf. He has gone eighty-four days now without catching a fish. In the first forty days, a boy had been with him. But the boy had to go back because his parents told him that the old man is unlucky. The boy went to another boat, which caught three good fish in the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come back in each day with fish net empty. He always went to help the old man bring back his sailboat, mast, fish net and harpoon.
The old man was thin with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. Everything about him was old except his eyes. His eyes were the same color as the sea. His eyes were cheerful and undefeated.
