Story Time - THE MILKMAID

A milkmaid was on her way to the market to sell some milk from her cow. As
she carried the large jug of milk on top of her head, she began to dream of
all the things she could do after selling themilk.“With that money, I’ll
buy a hundred chicks to rear in my backyard. When they are fully grown.I
can sell them at a good price at the market.” As she walked on, she
continued dreaming, “Then I’ll buy two young goats and rear them on the
grass close by. When they are fully grown, I can sell them at an even
better price!”Still dreaming, she said to herself, “Soon, I’ll be able to
buy another cow, and I will have more milk to sell. Then I shallhave even
more money...” With these happy thoughts, she began to skip and jump.
Suddenly she tripped and fell. The jug broke and all themilk spilt onto the
ground.No more dreaming now, she sat down and cried.

Moral: Do not count your chickens before they are hatched
