The Milkmaid and her Pot of Milk.

A Maid was carrying her pail of milk to the farm-house, when she fella-musing. "The money for which this milk will be sold will buy at leastthree hundred eggs. The eggs, allowing for all mishaps, will produce twohundred and fifty chickens. The chickens will become ready for marketwhen poultry will fetch the highest price; so that by the end of theyear I shall have money enough to buy a new gown. In this dress I willgo to the Christmas junketings, when all the young fellows will proposeto me, but I will toss my head, and refuse them every one." At thismoment she tossed her head in unison with her thoughts, when down fellthe Milk-pot to the ground, and broke into a hundred pieces, and allher fine schemes perished in a moment.

Count not your chickens before they are hatched.
