      The Milk Woman and her Pail


There was a Farmer's daughter who was carrying her Pail of milk from the field to the farmhouse, when she fell deceiving.

 "The money for which this milk will be sold, will buy at least three hundred eggs. The eggs, allowing for all mishaps, will produce two hundred and fifty chickens. he chickens will become ready for the market when poultry will fetch the highest price, so that by the end of the year I shall have money enough from my share to buy a new gown.In this dress I will go to the Christmas parties, where all the young fellows will propose to me, but I will toss my head and refuse them every one."

At this moment she tossed her head with her thoughts, when all the milk pail fell to the ground, and all her imaginary schemes perished in a moment.
