Pertanyaan
Read the text below and answer the following question!
A Milkmaid had been in the meadow to milk her cows. Now she was returning home with a pail of milk on her head.
She thought, "I will make cream and butter out of this milk. Then after selling them, I will buy eggs. And when they hatch, I shall have a good pultry farm."
She further thought, "I shall sell some of my chickens and buy a fine dress. Seeing it on my body at the party, all the boys will admire me. But I will turn them away."
She went on day dreaming; she forgot about the pail on her head. She moved her head suddenly and the pail of milk came tumbling down. It was broken and all the milk spilt.
"Dear, o dear!" she cried, "I have lost mine all."
What can we learn from the story above?
Don't cry over the spilt milk.
Don't cry before you are hurt.
Don't dream when you sleep.
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

Soal menanyakan pelajaran yang bisa dipetik dari cerita tersebut.
Dalam wacana bisa dilihat bahwa gadis tersebut sangat kegirangan karena hasil perahannya. Dia sudah memikirkan dan menghitung-hitung apa yang akan didapatkannya dan akan dilakukannya kemudian bahkan sebelum satu pun dari hal tersebut terjadi.
Hal ini sama dengan arti perumpamaan dalam bahasa Inggris, yaitu: counting someone's chicken before they hatch. Dari cerita tersebut kita diajarkan untuk tidak mengharapkan/bergantung pada sesuatu sebelum hal itu pasti terlaksana atau terjadi.
Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang paling tepat adalah D.
