Once upon a time, a magical golden swan with feathers made of pure gold lived by a quiet lake. In a nearby hut lived a poor mother and her young daughters who struggled every day to make ends meet. One day, the golden swan flew down to their courtyard, dropped a brilliant golden feather, and said, 'Sell this to feed your family so you can live in comfort.' The grateful family thanked the bird dearly. Over time, the swan returned often, leaving golden feathers. But the mother grew greedy and impatient. She thought, 'If I wait for him to drop feathers one by one, it takes too long. I will catch him and pull all his golden feathers out at once to become super rich!' When the swan returned, she grabbed him, but the moment she plucked his feathers, they magically turned into ordinary chicken feathers. Greed destroyed what steady gratitude had built.
