The Dreamer
Milkmaid
Taking a large container
of milk on her head a milkmaid was on her way for selling it. As her steps were
moving towards the market, her inclination towards wealth was being enhanced. A
surge of excitement of money by selling the milk was noticeable. She began to dream
how she would dream use that money. She was murmuring the words and moving her
hands. Her dream took her in a different world and she said to herself, “The
money, after selling the milk, would be used for purchasing a hundred chicks
and when chicks would be fully grown, I would sell them at a good price for
buying two goats. When the goats would be fully grown, I could sell them at an
even better price!” Still dreaming, she said to herself, “Soon, I would be able
to buy two more cows and I would have a lot of money with a luxurious life.”
With these happy thoughts, she began to skip and jump. Suddenly, she tripped
and fell. The jug broke and all the milk spilt onto the ground. “No more
dream,” she cried foolishly.
Moral: Do not count your
chickens before they are hatched.
