Resso and her pot of milk

 

Moral Story: Resso and her pot of milk

Once upon a time, in a small village there lived a good girl “Resso”. She helped her mother in her work. She milked her cows every day.

One day her mother gave her a pot of milk. She said “You are a good girl. You help me in my work. I am very pleased with you. Take this pot of milk in the bazaar and sell it. You may need the money for yourself.”

Resso was very pleased. She said, “Oh! Thank you mother.” She put the pot of milk on her head and set out for the bazaar.

On the way she said to herself, “What shall I do with the money which I get by selling the milk?” “I shall buy some eggs,” she thought. “My hen will sit on the eggs, and I shall soon have some chickens. When the chickens are big, I will sell them. This will give me more money. Then I will buy more eggs, and so get more chickens. Soon I shall get rich.

Then I shall buy fine clothes. All the young men will stare at me when I passed by. I shall feel very proud and will toss my head –like this.”

She actually tossed her head. The pot fell to the ground, and all the milk was lost. She began to cry but it was useless to cry over the spilt milk.

Moral:

It is no use building castle in the air;

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
