The Milkmaid and her pail (2 完)

At the thought of those new clothes,　the milkmaid exclaimed,　"I will look so pretty that all the young men will ask me to dance.　But I will just toss my head at them ー like this ! "

But when she tossed her head, down fell the pail !

The milk spilled onto the ground, and with it went the milkmaid's happy daydreams.



All she would get now was a scolding when she returned home.

And this is why we must always remember never to count out chickens until they are hatched !
