Once upon a time there was a very lazy man. He was so lazy that he didn’t even chew his food.
Seeing that he did not want to work at all, all the peasants in the village decided to hang him because he was not a good example for their community.
One day two villagers went to the lazy man’s house. They put him in a cart and took him to the gallows.
On the way to the gallows they met a lady. She did not know anything about the lazy man. She thought he was ill and those two villagers would take him to the doctor. The villagers told her that he was lazy not ill and they were taking him to the gallows because he was not a good example for their community. When the lady heard that, she felt pity for the lazy man. She decided to shelter him in her barn where she had plenty of crumbled bread for him to eat.
“What a lucky man! He is so lazy and has got a lot of good luck!” said the villagers. “Wanna go there?” they asked him.
“Is the bread softened enough?” asked the lazy man.
“What a question! I can’t believe my ears! You can soak it by yourself, can’t you?” said the lady.
“What do you think? Wanna soak the bread by yourself or not?” the villagers asked the lazy man.
“No way”, said the lazy man.
“I prefer being hung to soaking the bread by myself”. Let’s go to the gallows! added the lazy man.
On hearing that the lady told the villagers the lazy man deserved to be hung.
So the villagers took him to the gallows. Thus all the villagers got rid of the lazy man.
Since then nobody in that village has dared to be lazy any more.
