Respuesta: “Once upon a time there was a young milkmaid with a bucket of milk on her head, on her way to the market to sell it. Along the way, the dreamy young woman was imagining what she could achieve with milk. He thought that in the first place and with the money from the sale he would buy a basket of eggs, which once hatched would allow him to start a small chicken farm. Once these grew, he could sell them, which would give him money to buy a piglet.
Once this grew, the sale of the animal would be enough to buy a calf, with the milk from which it would continue to obtain benefits and in turn could have calves. However, as she was thinking all these things, the young woman stumbled, causing the pitcher to fall to the ground and break. And with him, her expectations of what he could have done with her. ”
This story, which has versions of Aesop and La Fontaine (the latter being the one we have reflected), teaches us the need to live in the present and that although dreaming is necessary we must also bear in mind that this is not enough to achieve our purposes. Initially, it is a small story that warns us to be careful that ambition does not make us lose consciousness.
Likewise, some adaptations also include a later dialogue between the milkmaid and her mother, who tells her that thanks to having similar fantasies she was able to set up a farm: in this case it is a reflection that we need to dream and aspire, but taking care of what We do to achieve the objectives, in addition to not giving up at the first stumble or obstacle.
