While resting she calculated her profit. There was 120 RS. The ambitious woman thought-”Oh! There are 100Rs I need to save money. If I save money for a month I will get 3600Rs. Then I can become rich. Then I will buy a huge bungalow. I will live like a queen.

She started to walk to her home. The greedy woman again bought another pale of milk from her house and started walking towards the market in the anxienty of getting more money. She continued her dreams. After sometimes the milk maid started dancing in happiness. She lost her balance and a pale of milk on her head fell down and broke. She lost that milk.She headed towards her home sadly.
