This is a story of fantasy and not real, but we must take advantage of this story. In the fable, a poor farmer' goose began laying a solid golden Eggs every day, and the farmer soon become rich. He also became greedy and figured that the Goose must have many golden eggs within her. in order to obtain all the eggs immediately, he killed the goose. Upon cutting it open he discovered that it is not full of golden eggs. The lesson is that if one attempts to maximize immediate production with no regard the production capability, the capability will be lost. Effectiveness is the function of both production and the capacity to produce.

As you say that is the story that the fable was designed to demonstrate to people. There are a vast number of fables and are all intended to relay some kind of message concerning behaviour. Fables were introduced for that very purpose and were intended to help to teach children the right way to behave in society and not to grow up with a wrong attitude. Nowadays fables tend to concentrate more on the entertainment side than the actual teaching approach, but the message is always there for all to see and hopefully to learn from.
