Patty the Milkmaid was going to market carrying her milk in a pail on her head.
As she went along, she began calculating what she would do with the money she would get for the milk.
- I'll buy some fowls from Farmer Brown, said she, and they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to the parson's wife.
- With the money that I get from the sale of these eggs, I'll buy myself a new dimity frock and a chip hat; and when I go to market, won't all the young men come up and speak to me! Short Stories
- Polly Shaw will be so jealous; but I don't care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this.
As she spoke that, she tossed her head back and the pail fell off it, and all the milk was spilt!
Patty la lechera iba al mercado llevando su leche en un cubo sobre su cabeza. A medida que avanzaba, empezó a calcular qué haría con el dinero que obtendría por la leche. -Compraré algunas aves del Granjero Brown, dijo ella, y pondrán huevos cada mañana, lo que venderé a la esposa del párroco. - Con el dinero que recibo de la venta de estos huevos, me compraré un nuevo vestido de dimity y un sombrero de viruta; Y cuando vaya al mercado, ¿no vendrán todos los jóvenes a hablar conmigo? Cuentos cortos - Polly Shaw será tan celosa; Pero no me importa. Sólo la miraré y sacudiré la cabeza de esta manera. Mientras hablaba eso, echó la cabeza hacia atrás y el cubo cayó, y toda la leche se derramó!
