A PROUD GIRL ( the small story about poor girl )
Once there lived a girl by the name of Sita. Her parents
were poor, and she too was very poor. They had two cows which gave them milk.
They sold the milk and bought their food and clothes.
Sita’s birthday came round and on that day her mother gave
her pot of milk saying, “sell this milk and buy some sweets for yourself.” Sita
was very happy and away she went with the pot of milk on her head.
On her way, however, she began to think, “Why must I waste
this money on sweets? I shall buy a hen and some eggs with it. The hen will sit
on them and after about three weeks there will be small chicks. I shall feed
them well and help them to grow. After about eight months the hence will lay
eggs and I shall get chick from them too. Some Time later I shall sell them and
buy a beautiful saree and a jacket to wear. I shall look smart and pretty in my
new dress. I shall them go about the streets tossing my head at the other
girls. “With that she tossed full of tears, the unhappy girl went back home,
without the sweets and without the saree!
