The Milkmaid | Learn English | Aesop’s Fables

The Milkmaid | Learn English | Aesop’s Fables

First in a long series of Aesop’s Fables that I am creating for my English students at Linguaspectrum.com

Have you ever heard of the expression, Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched?

This expression comes from the Ancient Greek writer, Aesop.

This video about the Maid and Her Pot of Milk tells the story in words and pictures to help you learn and remember vocabulary such as:

  • allowing for
  • ball
  • daydreaming
  • farmhouse
  • fetch a price
  • maid
  • market
  • mishaps
  • pail
  • poultry
  • propose
  • toss of the head
  • unison.

The extra activities that go with the video will help you to consolidate your learning through self-test exercises. The story illustrates the moral that we should not consider anything as definite until we have done the necessary work to make it a reality.
