🎵 Song Title: “The Milkmaid and Her Dreams”
(Verse 1 – bright and calm)
One bright morning, a young milkmaid was walking to town
With a pail of fresh milk balanced on her head.
The sun was shining, the birds were singing,
And she was full of happy thoughts.
(Verse 2 – thoughtful and light)
She walked carefully down the road,
Smiling to herself.
🥛 MILKMAID (thinking – sweet and dreamy):
“I’ll sell this milk at the market and earn good money.
With that money, I’ll buy a basket of eggs.
The eggs will hatch into fluffy little chicks.”
(Verse 3 – hopeful, building up)
She imagined the chicks growing into hens.
🥚 MILKMAID (thinking – a little more excited):
“I’ll feed them well, and soon I’ll have many chickens.
I’ll sell them and make even more money!
Then, I’ll buy myself a beautiful red dress.”
(Verse 4 – joyful and skipping)
She kept walking, her steps light and full of joy.
👗 MILKMAID (thinking – proud and playful):
“At the village party, everyone will look at me.
They’ll say, ‘Wow! What a lovely dress!’
I’ll toss my head and smile proudly!”
(Verse 5 – sudden and soft)
She laughed at the thought—
And tossed her head.
SPLASH!
(Verse 6 – soft piano, slower tone)
The pail fell off her head.
Milk spilled all over the ground, soaking the earth.
(Verse 7 – sad and quiet)
She gasped and looked down.
No milk.
No money.
No eggs.
No chickens.
No red dress.
Everything was gone—just like that.
(Verse 8 – gentle lesson, peaceful ending)
The milkmaid sighed and said to herself,
“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”
And from that day on,
She walked with her head high—
But her thoughts on the ground.
🎵 THE END.
