Short Story in English | Dream at the wrong time

 Dream at the Wrong Time.

There was a small family living by the mountain. There was a mom and her daughter named LyLy. They had a cow they raised for milk. Every a couple of days, Lyly would sell her milk at a small local market in her village.

Today, Lyly was carrying a pail of milk heading to the market to sell. While she was walking, she was imagining that. After selling the milk I'll get some money. With the money I'll buy a hen. The hen will soon lay more eggs and chicken. I'll sell the chickens and buy more goats and cows. Then I will have a lot of money. I and my family will live a happy life.

suddenly, she tripped her foot and spilled all the milk. Lyly was looking at the spilled milk and crying as she had been collecting that milk for a couple of days. She went back home and told her mom all what had happened to her. Her mom didn't blame her and comforted her with sweet words. She said, it is good to imagine the amazing life in the future but please do it at the right time and the place that is safe.
