"The Milkmaid and Her Pail"
A Fable

A farmer's daughter had been out to milk the cows. As she walked back to the house, carrying the pail on her head, she began to daydream after this fashion:

"The milk in this pail will soon have thick cream on it. I will make the cream into butter. I will sell the butter. With the money, I will buy a number of eggs. When these eggs are hatched, I will have a lot of chickens. I will sell their eggs.

And with the money, I will buy myself a beautiful new gown, which I will wear when I go to the fair. Then all the fine young fellows will look at me. But I will toss my head and have nothing to say to them."

Forgetting all about the pail of milk, she tossed her head. And down went the pail, milk and all.
