Radha was a milkmaid. She lived in a village called Bhavnagar. She sold milk to
earn a living
One day, Radha was carrying a pot of milk on her head. She had to deliver the milk
to her customers in a nearby village named Holipura.
Radha had a habit of daydreaming. She said to herself, 'I will sell the milk and get a
lot of money. With the money, I will buy some eggs. The eggs will hatch into fine
chickens. The chickens will grow into hens. I will name my hens Heena and Keena.
Then I will sell Heena and Keena and get more money. With that money I will buy
nice silk dresses. I will look beautiful. Then people will ask me the secret of my
wealth. I will toss my head and say, "No, I don't want to tell you.
While Radha dreamt of tossing her head, she actually tossed her head. The pot of
milk fell down and all the milk was spilt on the ground.
