The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg: A Retelling of Aesop's Fable | 
“Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough“
I think that this story is a little dark for children, but I do think it has a good message. This shows that you need to be patient and good things will come. Things get messy when you seek instant gratification. I would place a kid friendly version of this fairy tale in my classroom for sure.
so-soA man and his wife have a goose that amazingly lays golden eggs, once
per day. The couple amazed with the goose, but quite greedy, plot how
to immediately get all the gold. Upon deciding that there must be a
large deposit of gold inside the goose, they kill and cut open the goose,
to get the imagined fortune. After investigation a nasty shock is in
store for the man and his wife.
