There was once a small boy called , he was so lazy. He slept most of the day in the sun.
One day his mother called out to him while he was sleeping in the barn and told him he had to get up and get a job. He decided to look for work on a farm because he liked working in the sun.
It was
's first day at work, he worked hard and at the end of the day the farmer gave him some money. He put the money in his handkerchief then put it in his pocket.
On the way home it was getting cold and windy, he started to get a runny nose so he took his handkerchief out of his pocket and blow his nose, forgetting he put his money in it. The money fell out onto the ground, without
knowing.
When he got home he went to give his mother the money he had made that day, but when he opened the handkerchief the money was not there.
said to his mother "I am sure I wrapped the money in the handkerchief." Mother said "you silly boy, next time put your money in your pocket not your handkerchief."
The next day after work
