Who Is The Laziest?
There is a funny story about laziness. Three young men
were lying by the roadside doing nothing. A person
passed by and asked curiously, "Ah! What are you
three doing here?" They said,"Oh! We are very lazy,
so we are lying here. We do not want to work."
The person said, "Well, if this is so, you tell me
how you are lazy. I shall give one dollar to the
laziest person." If one wants to be lazy, one might
as well be completely lazy so that others have nothing
to say. One of the lazy ones said, "I am very thirsty.
I am both hungry and thirsty. I have a pear in my pocket,
but I am so lazy that I cannot take it out."
The next one said, "Well! That is nothing. The sun
keeps shining in my eyes. It hurts my eyes, but I am
too lazy to turn my head around." The third person said,
"Well, the two of them are not so bad. I am the laziest."
He continued, "I want to go to sleep very badly. I am
exhausted! But I am too lazy to close my eyes."
