Peggy the milkmaid was going to market.There she planned to sell the fresh, sweet
milk in the pail that she had learned to carry
balanced on her head. As she went along,
she began thinking about what she would do
with the money she would get for the milk.
"I'll buy the plumpest chickens from Farmer
Brown" she said, "And they will lay eggs each
morning. When those eggs hatch, I'll have
more chickens. Then I'll sell some of the
chickens and some of the eggs, and that will
get me enough money to buy the blue dress
I've wanted and some blue ribbon to match.
Oh, I'll look so lovely that all the girls will be
jealous. But I don't care; I'll just toss my head
at them, like this!" She tossed back her head.
The pail flew off, and the milk spilled all over
the road. So Peggy had to return home and
tell her mother what had happened. "Ah, my
child," said her mother. "Don't count your
chickens before they're hatched."
