Abstract
One of twenty in the series, found near the counter as we were settling up a large order of books. Sixteen pages with standard computer art. This is an Indian version of MM. The beggar Mungerilal of Konkan finds a bag of flour on his way home. He hangs the bag near his bed and starts dreaming about what he will do with it. After selling it, he will buy a goat, which will give milk and later give birth to a kid. Soon he will have a thriving herd of cattle, a house, and a beautiful bride. If she does anything wrong, he will beat her with a stick. Perhaps a bit illogically for the story, he starts swinging a stick: where did he get that stick in his sleep? The stick of course hits the pot, breaks it, and spills its contents useless onto the floor. Making too many future plans is not always good. Is making too many future plans ever good?
