The Brahmin Who Built Castles in the Air

A poor Brahmin received a pot of flour and hung it above his bed. Looking at it, he imagined selling it, buying goats, becoming rich, marrying, and having children.

In the dream, he imagined scolding a disobedient child. He kicked his foot to show authority.

His foot struck the real pot. It shattered, and the flour spilled everywhere. His future palace vanished because he neglected the present vessel.
