挤牛奶的小姑娘
在一个小村庄里,住着一个可爱的小姑娘,她每天都要挤牛奶。有一天,小姑娘头顶着一桶牛奶,从田野里走回家。 路上她边走边想:“把这桶牛奶卖了,可以买三百个鸡蛋。这些鸡蛋可以孵出三百只小鸡。到时候,把这些小鸡拿去卖。那样的话,我可以得很多钱。
“得到这么多钱,干什么用那?对了!用这些钱可以买一条漂亮的新裙子。圣诞节的晚会上,我穿上漂亮的新裙子,年青的小伙子们都会邀请我跳舞,而我就像公主一样骄傲地站着,摇头不理他们。”
想到这里,她真的摇起头来,哗啦一声,头顶的牛奶撒了一地,她美妙的幻想也随之消失。她想得的东西都没有了。 这个故事告诉我们,想入非非不会给自己带来任何实惠。

On the way she thought: “If I sell the pail of milk, I can buy three hundred eggs. The eggs can hatch three hundred chickens. Then, I will sell the chickens. In that case, I can get a lot of money.
"To get so much money, what to do with it? With all the money ,I can buy a beautiful dress. On the Christmas party, when I wear the beautiful dress, all the young men will dance with me.And I am like a princess and stand there proudly, shaking my head to ignore them."
