Lazy Man

The story is about a very lazy man who sees a fox with two legs being fed by a lion. The lazy man assumes that God will also feed him without work, so he sits under a tree for two days waiting to be fed. When he is hungry, he meets a wise sage who explains that God wanted the lazy man to be like the lion and help others, not wait like the helpless fox. The moral is to see things positively and help others rather than take the easy way.

A very good morning to the honorable judges, teachers, and friends.

I am Nur Qaseh

Syazwana from SK Pasir Raja. Today, I am going to tell you a story entitled “The Lazy

Man”.

A long time ago, there lived a very lazy man who always looked for an easier way to feed

himself.

One day, while he was searching for food, he saw a big fruit farm. As he looked around, he

did not see anyone guarding the fruits on the tree. At once, he decided to steal some fruits.

As soon as he walked into the farm and started to climb the tree, a farmer saw him and

chased the lazy man. The lazy man saw the farmer coming behind him with a stick. He got

so afraid and ran as fast as he could. He ran for his life and reached in the forest nearby

and went inside it to hide.

After some time, he started to move on from the forest. While crossing the forest, he saw a

wonderful scene. There was a fox that had only two legs. The fox was still crawling happily.

The lazy man thought, “How can this fox stay alive in such a poor condition? The poor fox

cannot even walk properly! How it must be able to feed himself or stay alive from the threat

of other animals?”

Suddenly, he saw the lion coming towards the fox with a piece of meat in his mouth. All the

animals ran away as they saw a lion coming towards them. The lazy man climbed up the

tree to save himself but, the fox stayed at its place. It was not able to run with its two legs.

But what the lazy man saw was truly surprising! The lion left a piece of meat that was in his

mouth for the fox.

The lazy man felt happy seeing god’s play. He thought the god who is the creator of all,

always has a plan to take care of its people. He thought that God must have planned

something for him, too. So, he left that place and sat under a tree waiting for someone to

feed him, too.


He spent hours waiting for his food. He waited there for two days without any food! Finally,

when he couldn’t bear hunger anymore, he left the place and decided to go back home.

On his way, he met an old sage. The old sage was known for his wisdom. The lazy man

told everything he saw throughout his journey. The sage first gave him some food and

water. After that, he asked the sage, “Oh, wise sage, the god had shown his kindness on

the handicapped fox, but why the god was so cruel to me?”

The old sage smiled and said, “That’s true! God has a plan for everyone. You are definitely

a part of god’s plan. However, my child, you took his sign in the wrong way. The god did not

want you to be like the fox. He wanted you to be like the Lion”.

The moral of the story is we must always learn to see things in a positive way and see

yourself in a strong position to help others. Don’t go for an easy choice. Make a right

choice. With that, I end my story here. Thank you.
