So, they become poor than before they had and lived in poverty together again. But they had a marital bond and live happily together as man and wife.
This stories gave me a message or lesson, always have a "moral".
I put in a good word of this book said on here:
The moral of the story about the golded egg is : Don't be greedy or you might lose everything.
