Once upon a time, there was a milkmaid. She 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 the milk. 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 will
buy two young goats and rear them on the grass close by. When they are
fully grown , I can sell at an even better price . Still dreaming , she
said to her self , Soon ,I will be able to buy another cow, and I will
have more milk to sell .Then I shall have even more money. With these
happy thoughts, she began skip and jump. Suddenly she tripped and fell.
The jug broke and all the milk spilt onto the ground. No more dreaming
now , she sat down and cried.
(moral)
DO NOT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCHED.
