The Milkmaid

Mutya, the Milkmaid, was going to the market carrying a huge pail of
pure milk on her head. She hummed a happy tune while walking. As
she went along, she began thinking of what she would do with the
money she would get for the milk. “I’ll buy some chicken from Mang
Tomas,” said she, “and they will lay eggs each morning, then I will
10
sell the eggs to the mayor’s wife. With the money that I will get from
the sale of the eggs, I’m sure I can buy myself a cute dress and a
hat; and when I go to the market I would be a muse. Won’t all the
young men come up and speak to me! Ana will be that jealous, but I
don’t care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this.” As she
spoke, she tossed her head back, the pail fell down, and all the milk
was spilled. She had to go home and tell her mother what
happened.
