    Lazy Jack!!!

    Once upon a time there was a lazy boy called Jack

    who lived with his mother. Unfortunately , they were

    very poor. His mother worked hard spinning. However,

    Jack did nothing. In the summer, he basked in the sun. In the

    winter, he dozed by the fire.

    One day his mother said that if he didn't work for his

    porridge, she would throw him out of the house.

    So Jack went to work for a farmer. At the end of

    the day, he was paid one bright, new penny but on the

    way home he dropped it in the stream.

    "You stupid boy," said his mother, "you should have put it in

    your pocket."

    "I'll do so next time," promised Jack.

    The next day Jack went to work for the farmer again.

    1.
    At the end of the day, he was paid with a jug of milk.

    Remembering what his mother had told him, Jack tipped it

    into his pocket.

    "You stupid boy," said his mother, "you should have carried it

    on your head."

    "I'll do so next time," promised Jack.

    The next day Jack went to work for a miller.

    At the end of the day, he was paid with a tom cat for

    catching mice.

    Remembering what his mother had told him, Jack tied it onto

    his head.

    "You stupid boy," said his mother, "you should have tied it

    up with string to lead it along behind you."

    2.
    "I'll do so next time," promised Jack.

    The next day Jack went to work for a baker.

    At the end of the day, he was paid with a roast chicken.

    Remembering what his mother had told him, he tied it up

    with string and pulled it along behind him.

    "You ninny hammer" said his mother, "you should have put it

    in your ruck sack."

    "I'll do so next time," promised Jack.

    The next day Jack went to work for a cattle-keeper.

    At the end of the day, he was paid with a donkey.

    Remembering what his mother had told him, he tried to

    squeeze it into his ruck sack.

    On his way home, Jack passed the house of a beautiful, rich

    girl.

    Long ago, a doctor had said that the girl would not speak
    3.
    until she laughed. Consequently, her father had promised
    that the first man to make her laugh could marry her.

    Along came Jack with the donkey on his back and its legs
    poking into the air. Now the sight was so strange

    and so comical that the girl burst out laughing!

    So it happened that Jack became married and

    wealthy, despite his foolish ways.
