In a small village there lived a man. He would do nothing all day but daydream. Whenever he was hungry, he would go out, beg(乞讨)for food, come back and hang out.
One sunny afternoon, the man was very hungry. With great difficulty, he got up, took out a pot(罐)and went out to beg. By begging the whole day, he finally got a pot of milk. He hung the pot on the ceiling(天花板), lay down on his bed and started daydreaming again.
"This pot of milk is going to make me rich, "he thought." I can make butter from the milk. Then I will be able to make ghee(印度酥油)and go to the market and sell the ghee." His dream continued, "With the money I get, I will buy a pair of cows. They will have baby cows. Soon I would have a large number of cows."
"Then I will continue my business. I will buy come more cows and own a farm. And I will employ people to work on my farm. I can also open a candy shop. I will make candies out of the cows' milk, "the man kept smiling to himself.
"I am so smart, "thought the man. Lost in his thoughts, he reached out his foot, breaking the pot. He saw the broken pot and cried. He lost whatever he had because he was lazy and spent his time daydreaming.
