C. He got nothing but blood and he also lost his goose and golden eggs forever. - This sentence reveals the consequence of the farmer's action - he gets nothing of value and loses the goose and its golden eggs permanently.

A. He cut its stomach open, in the hopes of finding all its golden eggs. - This sentence explains the farmer's specific action driven by his greed, connecting back to sentence B.
