Building Castles In The Air
Building
castles in the air is a very bad habits of the work shirkers. It means that we
should not dream to achieve the impossibility's twister we should not count
chickens before they are hatched. This truth is illustrated beautifully in the
following story.
Once
there lived a poor old peasant in a village. He had a cow. He would milk it
daily , carry its milk to the market and sell it to earn a few coins to buy his
daily bread. One day he was a bit out of sorts . He advised his young daughter
to carry the milk to the market to sell it. The girl was very fanciful and
imaginative. She put the pail of milk on her head and started to the market. On
the way, her brain started working and she was lost in beautiful vision of
bright future. She began to think that she would earn so much money by selling
the milk that she would be able to buy at least 200 eggs with the extra saved
money . In spite of all the mishaps , The eggs would produce 145 chickens. Her
father would sell them in the market when they grow up. They would grow rich.
They would be respected and honoured everywhere. Her parents would buy her a
gorgeous silky dress studded with the beds of gold and green. wearing that
dress , she would go to a party . People would be greatly impressed by her
gorgeous dress. Every young man would propose to her but she would refuse them
by the single jerk of her head in this way and at this point, she actually
jerked her head. The pail of milk fell down with a thud, All the milk was spilt
at once and all her schemes were dashed to the ground. She came home weeping
and wailing. Her father beat her well. A foolish son maketh a sad father.
Moral:
Do
Not build castles in the air.
Do
not count the chickens before they are young.
