The milkmaid Molly had filled her pails with milk one day. She was responsible for milking the cows and bringing the milk to the market to be sold. Molly enjoyed considering her spending options.
She once more considered all the things she wanted to buy as she filled the milk pails and headed to the market. She considered purchasing a cake and a basket of fresh strawberries as she walked along the street.
She noticed a chicken when she drove a bit further down the road. She had the thinking, "I'm going to buy a chicken of my own with the money I acquire from today. When that chicken lays eggs, I'll be able to sell the eggs and milk and make extra money!
I'll be able to buy a lovely dress and make the other milkmaids envious if I have more money," she said. In her excitement, Molly began to skip, disregarding the milk in her pails. Molly soon became covered in milk as it soon began to flow over the edges.
Molly was soaked and thought to herself, "Oh no! I'll never have enough cash to purchase a chicken right now. She took her empty pails home with her.
"Goodness gracious! What has occurred to you? Mother of Molly enquired.
She replied, "I forgot about the pails because I was too preoccupied daydreaming about all the stuff I wanted to buy.
Molly, my lovely, "Oh. The phrase "Don't count your chickens until they hatch" needs to be repeated how many times?
