One day, Molly the milkmade had filled her pails with milk. Her job was to milk the cows, and then bring the milk to the market to sell. Molly loved to think about what to spend her money on.

As she filled the pails with milk and went to market, she again thought of all the things she wanted to buy. As she walked along the road, she thought of buying a cake and a basket full of fresh strawberries.

A little further down the road, dhe spotted a chicken. She thought, ” with the money I get from today, I’m going to buy a chicken of my own. That chicken will lay eggs, then I will be able to sell milk and eggs and get more money!”

She continued, ” With more money, I will be able to buy a fancy dress and make all the other milkmaids jealous. ” Out of excitement, Molly started skipping, forgetting about the milk in her pails. Soon, the milk started spilling over the edges, covering Molly.

Drenched, Molly said to herself, “Oh no! I will never have enough money to buy a chicken now.” She went home with her empty pails.

“Oh, my goodness! What happened to you?” Molly’s mother asked.

“I was too busy dreaming about all the things I wanted to buy that I forgot about the pails,” she answred.

Oh my goodness! What happened to you?” Molly’s mother asked.

“I was too busy dreaming about all things I wanted to buy that I forgot about the pails,” she answred.

“Oh, Molly, my dear. How many times do I need to say,’Don’t count your chickens until they hatch?

“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch”

The Lion and the Cows

Once upon a time there lived four cows in the forest. Everyday they used to graze together in a particular spot. They were all friends. One day a lion saw the cows grazing together.

The lion wanted to eat them. When the cows saw the lion, all of them fought with him. The lion had to run away.

A few day passed and the cow quarreled between themselves and started grazing separately. One by one the lion killed all of them.
