</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>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2;
tab-stops:list .75in'><![if !supportLists]>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</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>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2;
tab-stops:list .75in'><![if !supportLists]>4.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</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;
tab-stops:list .75in'><![if !supportLists]>5.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</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>
