A milkwoman carried a jar of milk on her head to the market.Una lechera llevaba en la cabeza un cántaro de leche al mercado.

She was so happy, convinced that the milk was already sold.Iba tan feliz, convencida de que esa leche estaba vendida.

They will pay me a lot of money.Me pagarán un montón de dinero.

What will I buy with that money?¿Qué compraré con ese dinero?

I will buy a basket of eggs.Compraré un cesto de huevos.

From eggs, I will take a hundred of chicken.De los huevos, saldrán cien pollos.

I will sell the chicken and I’ll buy a pig.Venderé los pollos y compraré un cerdo.

But the pig will be so thin that I’ll have to fatten it.Pero será tan delgado que tendré que engordarlo.

Its stomach will crawl through the grass.Su estómago arrastrará por la hierba.

I’ll take so much money for the pig, so I will buy a cow and a calf.Me darán tanto dinero por el cerdo, que compraré una vaca y un ternero.

Both think much thinking…the milkwoman fell on and the jar of milk fell down.Tanto pensar, tanto pensar…la lechera tropezó y el cántaro cayó.

Bye bye milk, money, eggs, chicken, pig, cow and calf…Adiós leche, dinero, huevos, pollos, cerdo, vaca y ternero…

No construyas castillos en el aire…

Don’t build castles in the air…
