Answer:
The short story chosen is called "The milk girl"
Explanation:
The setting of this short story is a city where the little girl was going to sell milk. This can be confirmed by the following quote:
"The girl was just joy. It was the first time that she would go to town, sell her beloved cow's milk."
The protagonist of this short story is a little girl, who is going to sell milk in the city and makes several plans about what will be done with the money she will earn. In addition, the girl was well dressed to impress customers. The quote that proves this is:
"She put on her best clothes, a beautiful blue dress, and set out on the road with the milk can on her head. As she walked, the milk rattled inside the can. The girl too, couldn't stop thinking: I'm going to sell the milk and buy eggs , a dozen, then I hatch the eggs and get a dozen chicks, when the chicks grow up, I’ll have beautiful roosters and chickens, see the roosters and raise the hens, which are great for laying eggs, I hatch the eggs and I’ll have more roosters and chickens, I sell everything and buy a kid and some sows. "
The main conflict of this short story is that the little girl thinks so much about what she is going to do with the money that stumbles and spills all the milk on the floor, showing us that we must pay attention to the present and not take care of what we do not have yet, leaving the present pass without being noticed. The quote that proves this is:
"If each sow gives me three piglets, seeing two, I get one and ..." The girl was so distracted in her thoughts that she tripped over a stone, lost her balance and fell over. There was the white milk on the floor. And eggs, chicks, roosters, chickens, kids, sows and piglets in the air. You shouldn't count on something before you get it and without paying attention to the present. "
I believe that the conflict is perfectly clear.
