The Farmer Girl
A farmer's daughter was walking to the market with a
bucket of milk on her head.
As she walked, she started to make plans.
“I will get
some money for this milk. With that money, I
will buy fifty eggs” she said. In a couple of weeks, those eggs will
hatch, and I will have fifty chickens. I will give those chickens
good food, and they will grow big and fat. Then l will take them to
the mar
ket and sell them. I will make lots of money! I'll take that
money and buy a beautiful dress” she said. “Boys will want to
dance with me. The other girls will be jealous, but I don't care.
I'll toss my head, like this.”
As she spoke, she tossed her head.
The bucket fell off her
head, and all the milk spilled on the ground.
She had to go home and tell her mother what happened.
“Ah, child,” said her mother, ”you shouldn't count your chickens
before they hatch.”
