"Haste makes waste" is an often-quoted proverb.It means that actions or decisions taken in haste and without thinking properly about their consequences may lead a person to an irreparable loss.
Once there lived a greedy man in Village.Fortunately,he had a very strange hen.It daily laid an egg of gold.He took the egg,went to the bazaar and sold it at very high price.Within a few days,he became very rich.He began to dream of becoming a millionaire.The people were greatly impressed by his riches.He was respected everywhere.But,with the passage of time,he became more and more greedy.His greed made him impatient.He did not wait for the eggs to come out one by one.He thought of a plan to become rich at once.One day,he caught the hen and killed her to get all the eggs at once.He opened the stomach of the hen and looked for the eggs.He was much surprised to find no egg in the stomach.Now he realized his folly and repented but he could never get such eggs in future.
Moral:
- Haste makes waste
- It is no use of crying over split milk.
- Greed is curse
