Habebat vir quidam gallinam, quae cotidie ovum aureum pariebat. Homo cupidus contentus non erat iis ovis, quae cotidie accipiebat et “Certe – inquit – magna copia auri intra ventrem gallinae inest: occidam illam et omne aurum habebo”. Necat igitur gallinam, sed nihil invenit; itaque neque aurum neque ova neque gallinam habet. Recte igitur proverbium: Avarus semper eget, atque illud: Rarus fortuna sua contentus.

A certain man had a hen, which nurtured them a golden egg every day. Man was not content with those desirous of a sheep, which was receiving every day and "Certainly, - said he, - there is a great abundance of gold within the belly of the hen: I will kill her, and I will have all the gold." He kills the chicken, but found nothing; So then neither gold, nor eggs, nor the cock, it has. Rightly, therefore, a proverb: A greedy man is always in need of, and it is rare that his fate content.
