真正的懶惰

Real Laziness

A young farmer who went to look after his father's men in the time of hay-harvest, found some of the mowers asleep, when they should have been at work.
"How is this?"cried the young man, "Why, you are so lazy, that I would give 20 dollars to know which of you is the laziest man".
"I am he!"cried the one nearest to him, still stretching himself.
"Here then."said the young man, holding out the money to him.
However the lazy workman did not take it, but folded his arms and said: "please, Master George, be so good as to put it into my pocket for me!" .
一個(gè)年輕的農(nóng)場(chǎng)主在干草收割期間前去照看父親的雇工,發(fā)現(xiàn)一些割草的雇工在干活時(shí)睡大覺(jué).
年輕人嚷道:"這是怎么搞的?你們太懶惰了,我真想拿出20美元來(lái)了解一下你們中間誰(shuí)是最大的懶漢."靠近他身旁的一個(gè)人叫起來(lái):"這人就是我!"說(shuō)完仍然躺著一動(dòng)也不動(dòng).年輕人說(shuō):"錢就在這里."并把錢遞給他.可是懶漢并沒(méi)拿錢,卻把兩只臂膀交叉起來(lái)說(shuō)道:"喬治先生,請(qǐng)您行個(gè)好,把錢放到我的口袋里去."
