One evening, a country maid (年轻姑娘) was walking along the path with a can (罐)of milk on her head, when she fell into the following imaginations. “I shall sell the milk. And I shall get some money. The money will help me to buy more than three hundred eggs. Maybe some of the eggs will go bad, or will be destroyed by vermin (害虫), but the good ones will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens. If the poultry are always dear, I will carry all the chickens to the market and sell them. By the new year, I can have enough money to buy a new dress. I like green, and green fits me best. OK, green the dress shall be. In this dress I will go to the party, and all young men there will want to invite me to be a partner of them. And I shall refuse every one of them, going away without looking at them.”

   When she was excited at this idea, she could not help moving her head. She shook her head again and again. Suddenly, the milk on her head poured down. And all her imaginary(想象的) happiness disappeared in a moment.
