BR 08: The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs

"They were very poor. But they had everything they needed." (p. 9)
"Tom and Elena were rich!"(p. 35)
"But Tom wanted more."(p. 36)

Major personalities of this story are Tom and Elena. They are marry couple. They were very poor. But, they were not unhapy. They were satisfied with life. Tom finds golden eggs in henhouse one day. He sells the egg and gets a lot of money. They found golden eggs every day. And, they became so rich!! However, they gradually become greedy. And, the goose did not lay golden eggs suddenly. They become poor again.

They were not greedy when there was no money. Still, they felt happiness. I thought that acting by looking backwards was important.
