I read a story about a girl last week. The girl carried a pot of milk in her head to the market. Walked along the street, she began calculating what she would buy before she sold the milk. She said to her, "I'll buy a new dress, and when I go to the ball, all the young man will dance with me." When she spoke, she shakes her head happily.
