Zainab was a little peasant 

she was nice active and polite 

she loved every body and every body loved her 

Even the birds felt safe beside her and surrounded her whenever she went to the spring to bring water . 

Zainab used to get up early in the morning

tidy and clean the house - Prepare food 

and then help her poor father who worked hard to support his family .

Zainab carried the milk which her father got from his cow to the city sold it and came back pleased of the help she gave to both her father and her family .

Zainab`s  father was a really poor man 

He owned only one cow whose milk helped him sustain his family and supply it with the necessary household needs 

One day when Zainab was in the market she heard a man saying to his friend { I got all my fortune by doing a very simple trade . I sold eggs and earned money until i had a big farm for poultry}

That night Zainab had a beautiful dream . she saw herself selling eggs and buying hens instead , and selling hens and buying sheep , then selling sheep ,and buying cows until she became the owner of a big farm for cows .

In the morning , Zainab told her father the dream suggesting that they could make it true by selling the cow and buying a farm where they can raise hens then Sheeps , then cows exactly as she saw in her dream

" But our cow's price is not even enough to buy us a very small farm ! "

commented Zainab's  father and added , "Dreaming a lot is harmful , my girl , one should work to get what he wants instead of only dreaming of it ."

On the following day , Zainab carried the jar of milk and went to the city as usual .

Just before going any further her father said joking ," Don't dream too much my girl . look ahead carefully . Dreams are different from reality."

Zainab , though , couldn't forget the words of the merchant who sold eggs .

She kept on dreaming that she would trade in eggs , hens, and sheep's and become an owner of a big farm for cows . 

Zainab continued dreaming throughout her way and suddenly , as she was not paying attention , she stumbled on a stone , fell down , and broke the jar . At the moment all the milk in the jar spilled 

Zainab returned sadly with tears on her cheeks , and told her father what had happened . "It's Ok this time but don't make the mistake again ," he comforted her . " I told you that dreams remain dreams . When you want something you should work on it , not only dream of it ."
