A girl was walking to the market with a bucket of milk on her head. 一个女孩头上顶着一桶牛奶，正走在去集市的路上。

As she walked, she started to make plans. 走着走着，她开始打起了算盘。

"I'll sell this milk and buy some eggs," she thought. “把这桶牛奶卖了，我就去买些鸡蛋，”她心想。

"The eggs will become chickens. “鸡蛋会孵出小鸡。

I'll sell the chickens and buy a beautiful new dress. 我把鸡卖了，买一件漂亮的新裙子。

I'll wear it to the dance, 我要穿着它去参加舞会，

and all the boys will want to dance with me. 到时候所有的男孩子都会想跟我跳舞。

But I won't say yes right away. 但我才不会马上答应呢。

I'll just shake my head, like this." 我就摇摇头，像这样。”

And she shook her head. 说着，她就摇了摇头。

The bucket fell off, and all the milk spilled onto the road. 结果桶掉了下来，牛奶全洒在路上了。

No milk. 牛奶没了。

No eggs. 鸡蛋没了。

No chickens. 小鸡没了。

No dress. 新裙子也没了。

She walked home with nothing but an empty bucket. 到头来，她只能拎着一个空桶回了家。

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. 事情还没成，千万别高兴得太早。
