The Milkmaid and Her Pail
Patty the milkmaid had finished milking her cow and had two full pails of fresh, creamy milk. She put both pails of milk on a stick and set off to the market, to sell them. 习近平long the way, she started to think of all the milk in her pails, and the money she would get for them.
“Once I get the money, I’ll buy a chicken,” she thought. “The chicken will lay eggs and I will get more chickens. They’ll all lay eggs, and I can sell them for more money. Then, I’ll buy the house on the hill and be the envy of everyone in the village. They’ll ask me to sell the chicken farm, but I’ll toss my head like ‘this’, and refuse”. Saying that, Patty the milkmaid tossed her head, and the pails of milk fell. The milk spilt onto the ground, and all Patty could do was cry.
Moral of the Story
Do not count your chickens before they hatch.
