Once upon a time there lived a milkmaid in a small village. She used to go market everyday to sell her milk. One day morning she was on her way to the market to sell some milk from her cow. As she carried the large pot of milk on top of her head. She began to dream of all the things she could do after selling the milk. She thought with that money, I will buy hundred chicks. 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 backyard. 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 shall have even more money.” I will get rich soon and then I will buy some necklace for me. I will looks like the queen. With these happy thoughts, she began to skip and jump.

Suddenly she tripped and fell in the road. The pot broke and all the milk split onto the ground. No more dreaming now, she sat down and cried.

Moral of the Story: Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
