In one country there were some lazy persons who would not do any work. They would only waste their time in idle gossips. The king and his ministers were fed up with these men. The kings men wanted to teach them a lesson. One day the king announced that all lazy men in his kingdom could come to the charity house and be fed free. Hundreds of people came, to have free food.The food was served to all the people. After the food was over, the king then told his minister to set fire to the charity house. There was lot of noise and suddenly all these lazy people became very active. Everyone inside except two men ran out of the burning building. Of the two remaining, one man said to the other, “My back is becoming very hot from the fire. What shall I do?” The other man advised, “Just turn over to the other side.” The kings men and minister saw this all. The king then said, “These are actually the laziest men. Feed them.”
