Right? Don?t Put All Of Your Eggs Into One Basket I vaguely remember a particular story from my childhood. It had something to do with transporting eggs to market. The main character, a little girl who thought she knew more than she really did, put all of the day's eggs into one basket, and when she tripped and fell on the way into town to sell the eggs, all of the eggs broke.

If she had divided them up into several means of transportation some would have been lost, but not all of them. It was a difficult lesson to learn.
