The Milkmaid and Her Pail

There lived a farmer in a village. He had a young daughter. She was really an imaginative sort of girl. One morning, she went out to milk the cows and was returning to the dairy carrying her pail on her head. As she went along, she began thinking, “The milk in this pail will provide me cream, with which I will make butter and take it to market to sell.

With this money, I will buy a bunch of eggs. When they are hatched, they will produce chickens. Day by day, I will have a large poultry farm. I will sell eggs and chickens in the market.

With the money that I get from the market on selling these things, I will buy a new dress for myself. Then, I will go to the fair, all men will come to see and talk to me. All village girls will be jealous of me but I don't care. I shall just look at them and toss my head like this.

As, she spoke, she tossed her head back, the pail fell from her head. All the milk was spilled and all her castles in the air vanished.

Moral: Do not build castles in the air.
