The Cone Snail that Delivered the Golden Goose

When I started to write this essay, I was reminded of the fable about “The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs”. In one version of the story, a goose that laid one egg everyday was killed by a farmer thinking that there were a lot of golden eggs inside. When opened, the goose proved to be like any normal goose without any gold.
