英语寓言故事:The milk maid and her pail 篇一

Once upon a time, there was a young milk maid named Mary who lived in a small village. Every day, she would milk the cows and carry the milk in a pail to the market to sell. One day, as she was walking to the market, she started daydreaming about all the things she would do with the money she earned from selling the milk.

"Oh, I will buy a new dress and a pair of shoes," Mary thought to herself. "And I will also buy some jewelry and a fancy hat. With all the money I earn, I will be the most beautiful girl in the village!"

Lost in her thoughts, Mary began to skip and dance along the road, imagining herself as the belle of the village. But as she danced, she accidentally kicked the pail of milk, causing it to spill all over the ground.

Mary was devastated. All her dreams of wealth and beauty had vanished in an instant. She realized that she had been foolish to count her chickens before they hatched, and that she should have focused on the task at hand instead of daydreaming.

From that day on, Mary learned to be more patient and careful. She never let her mind wander while carrying the milk to the market, and she always made sure to secure the pail tightly. And although she never became the most beautiful girl in the village, she was respected for her hard work and diligence.

The moral of the story is that it is important to stay focused on the present and not let your imagination run away with you. By being patient and diligent in your work, you can achieve your goals without getting ahead of yourself.
