Lazy the Pig

This story with illustration is from Daksh Prasad, 7, India. 

Once upon a time there were two pigs – the mother pig named Jenifer and her son named Lazy. 

They lived in a house.

One day, Lazy went to his friend Josh’s house for a play date in the afternoon. As they were playing they didn’t know that they had made a big  mess  by pulling all of the toys.

Suddenly, Josh’s mother came into the play room and was surprised. She asked them to clean the play room. But Lazy was too too lazy and didn’t help Josh.

Josh asked,

“Lazy, why are you so lazy?” 

Lazy answered, 

“Because I do the opposite  of whatever my mother tells me to do. If my mother tells me to clean the house, instead I make more mess. So my mother calls me Lazy”.

Josh said,

“I too was like you earlier, but we should listen to our parents and help doing at least little things, then we can have a happy family”. 

Lazy understood what Josh was trying to say.

Finally, Lazy helped Josh more and more and Josh said,

“You are my best friend”. 

Then Lazy rushed home to help his mother.
