28. A Foolish Milkmaid

 

A Foolish Milkmaid

Once there was a young woman who lived in a village. She had some domestic animals such as cows, goats, rams, etc. She had two big milky cows. They had given her 10 liters of milk every day. This quantity of milk is huge for her. So, taking some milk for her family and the rest of the milk she sold to the customers. That is why she was called milkmaid by her neighbors.

One day, carrying a pail of milk the milkmaid was going to deliver some milk to her customer. On her way, she daydreamed. She thought she would buy some eggs by selling milk. The eggs would give her many hens. By selling the hens she will buy a silky dress for her. Then many handsome young men will come to her with the proposal of marriage. But she will reject them all. 

Thinking this, on of a sudden she pushed with a piece of stone. Then the pail of milk fell down from her head. The milk was spread on the ground. She was disappointed. Her dream was broken. So, she went to her home in a broken mind.

At last, we have come to know from this story that we should not daydream. We should be happy with what we have at present.
