Soon she became very rich. The people of the village wanted to buy this hen but it was so dear to her that she did not sell it inspite of quite attractive offers.
One day she became more greedy than ever before. She decided to kill the hen and to get all the golden eggs out of it and to bacame very rich over night. Her husband advised her not to do so but she paid deaf ears to his advice and killed the hen and tore open its stomach. She was shocked to see that there were no golden eggs in its stomach.
