parents in a small house on the edge of the Town Ryan was very lazy every day he helped his father in the fields but his job was only to chase away the birds that came to eat their rice crops most people used sticks or slingshots to chase the birds but Ryan didn't want to move too much so he built wooden poles in different parts of the field and connected them with ropes this way he could scare the birds without standing up he could lie down and relax his father was a bit worried about his laziness

and thought if I get sick how will Ryan take care of everything but since Ryan always finished his work his father never got angry one summer during a dry season his father got very sick and Ryan had to take care of the whole field by himself he tried but he wasn't used to hard work after a few weeks the the crops started to die because they didn't get enough water and Ryan couldn't save them alone that night Ryan sat outside under the stars feeling useless and disappointed he thought why didn't I ever try harder now

my families hope is gone the next morning he heard people talking in the village Ryan went to see what was happening there a soldier was announcing a big competition at the king's Palace the winner would get a chest of gold Ryan thought this could save my family without thinking much Ryan said he would join the competition the villagers laughed they thought how can someone as lazy as Ryan win against strong people from all over the kingdom but Ryan didn't care he had 3 days to reach the palace so he left early his parents didn't think

Ryan would win but they hoped this would make him work harder and change his lazy ways after 3 days the competition started all the participants were gathered near a big lake many of them were strong and fit which made Ryan nervous how can I beat these people he thought then the rules were announced they had to cross the lake and the first three people to finish would go to the next round the countdown started 3 2 1 go everyone jumped into the lake and started swimming but Ryan stayed behind he thought there's no way I

can can win if I just swim suddenly Ryan had an idea he ran into the nearby Forest found some broken branches and made a small raft he used another piece of wood as a paddle Ryan thought this is a race to cross the lake not a swimming race I may not be strong but I can be smart as the others got tired from swimming Ryan paddled across the lake slowly but surely he passed many of them in the end Ryan finished third and qualified for the the next round two other participants who were very strong

also made it the next day the final competition began each contestant was given a big wooden block the task was to push the block 1 km to the finish line behind them were many tools they could choose from to help them but they could only pick one the first contestant quickly grabbed a rope and started pulling the block the second contestant took a piece of wood to use as a lever to move his block Ryan however didn't Rush he thought carefully about the tools I can't win by using my muscles I need to think smarter

he said to himself after thinking for a while Ryan picked a small knife the crowd was confused How could a knife help him move such a big block but instead of pushing the block Ryan started carving it he cut the block into a round shape like a ball after 1 hour Ryan finished carving now instead of a heavy block he had a wooden ball Ryan pushed the ball easily while the other contestants struggled with their heavy blocks he rolled it down the road catching up to the others with all his strength and determination Ryan was

the first to cross the finish line the crowd cheered loudly no one had expected The Lazy Boy to win this story shows us that lazy people can be smart but to achieve something great they need a big reason like Ryan's love for his family so if you ever feel lazy find a strong reason to work hard whether it's for your family your dreams or proving others wrong a big goal can motivate you to give your best today we also learned new words and sentences through this story remember learning English can be fun when you practice
