As she went along she began calculating what she would buy after she had sold the milk.;I‘ll buy a new dress, and when I go to the ball, all the young men will dance with me!;As she spoke she tossed her head back. The pail immediately fell off her head, and all the milk was spilt. The girl went back without anything.

一個農(nóng)家擠奶姑娘頭頂著一桶牛奶，前往集市。走了一會兒，她開始算計起賣完牛奶后要買的東西：我要買一身新衣服，好去參加舞會，年輕的小伙子都會邀請我跳舞。想到這里，她真地搖起頭來，牛奶桶隨之傾倒在地，牛奶都流了出去。女孩很傷心，兩手空空地回到家里，母親對她說：我的孩子，不要過早地打如意算盤。
