Read ‘The Poor Man and the Honey’, a folktale from India.
One day, a poor farmer found a big jar of honey. Excited, he placed it on the top shelf in his kitchen.
That night, the farmer wondered about the jar of honey. ‘If I sold it, I bet I could buy five sheep. And every year, the sheep would have babies. I would have many lambs. After the lambs grew up, I could sell all of my animals. I would be rich! I would have a wife. And we would have a son! Oh, he would be such a fine boy!’
Lost in his daydream, the farmer swung his arms in excitement. He knocked the honey jar off the shelf. The jar fell on the floor, and the honey was spilled. Now the man had no honey and his dreams were lost.
