There once lived a milkmaid who always lived in her own dream world. Her job was to carry a pail of milk to the neighbourhood and sell milk. Her family depended on the income from the milk. So her father always used to warn her to be careful with the milk.
One day Margaret, the milkmaid carried the pail on her head and was walking to the neighbourhood. On the way her imagination ran wild. She thought, “I will sell this milk and buy lot of eggs. When they hatch I will have lot of hens. I will sell the hens and buy a calf. The calf will grow up into a cow. I will sell it and buy a twowheeler. With a twowheeler I can move about fast and do business and earn a lot. Then I will buy the latest sports car. Seeing me on the expensive car a prince will propose to me. I will marry the prince and dance with him. Seeing me dance with a prince, my friends will be jealous of me and I will kick them...”
So thinking she danced a jig and kicked a stone. The pail of milk fell down and all the milk was spilt. She was reprimanded by her father and the family went hungry that day.
Day-dreaming doesn’t take you too far. You must concentrate on the work you are doing. If you are faithful in small things God will give you bigger responsibilities to handle.
