</span><![endif]>There once was a hardworking farmer�s daughter. She milked the
|
|
cows, tended the garden, and cooked meals for her father. Her favorite job,
|
|
though, was taking care of the bees. She talked to the bees, and they hummed to
|
|
her. She was so gentle that they never stung her, and their honey was unusually
|
|
sweet. </p>

</span><![endif]>Daughter, the farmer said one day, I do not know what I would
|
|
do without you. It is time to take the honey from the beehives and sell it at
|
|
market. You will get a fine price. Use that money to buy yourself something
|
|
pretty. </p>

</span><![endif]>The farmer�s daughter thanked her father and hurried to the
|
|
beehives. She told the bees about her father�s generous gift. What should I
|
|
buy? she asked them. Ribbons for my long black hair? Or a sash for my dress?
|
|
But the bees only hummed and left the farmer�s daughter to her dreaming. </p>

|

</span><![endif]>On market day, she set off down the road with the jars of
|
|
honey in a basket. Her mind was full of ways to spend her money. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2;

</span><![endif]>Perhaps a new hat, she said to herself. Or gloves to warm my
|
|
hands. I know! I�ll buy a chicken. That chicken will lay eggs, and those eggs
|
|
will grow up to be more chickens. I can sell the eggs from all those chickens,
|
|
and I�ll have lots of money. Then I�ll buy ribbons, hats, and gloves. I�ll even
|
|
buy beautiful shoes to wear to the dance. They�ll be beautiful red shoes with
|
|
ribbons and bells. I�ll be the prettiest dancer there! Everyone will watch me!
|
|
She danced along in the middle of the road, but as she twirled, the basket
|
|
tipped. All the jars of honey fell out and broke. </p>

</span><![endif]>The farmer�s daughter watched sadly as the honey spread into a
|
|
sticky puddle. Oh, dear, she thought. I should not have been in such a hurry to
|
|
spend money I didn�t have! She gathered up the pieces of broken jars and put
|
|
them in her basket. Then she walked home slowly, for she had no reason to go to
|
|
the market now. </p>
