FAIRY TALES
LAZY GIRL
Ones upon o time when the fleas were barbers, the camels were town criers, when I was racking my mother’s cradle there was a wife and husband.
The wife and husband had a daughter, the daughter has been brought up very carefully but she didn’t learn any housework. Because of that she is called as Lazy Girl.
This girl was so lazy that she doesn’t bother to get up from where she sit. Her father and mother bought a rake for her. So the girl used to do every thing where she sit.
Time has come for her to be married. Her parent got her married with a hunter.
The hunter has gone to hunting. He has shut a duck, cleaned and put the duck on the fire. Prepared to go hunting again, has told his wife that he put the duck on the fire take care. The lazy girl has said yes but didn’t bother to stand up from her place.
Rather a long time has passed. A beggar has come to house. He has wanted for God’s sake a piece of bread. The lazy girl answered that there the kitchen at the side of the house, go and have some.
The beggar has gone to the kitchen. See there is a duck simmering, taken the duck and put his beg, and in to the saucepan his dirty shoes. Has come near to the lazy girl. Said look my lady, I have gotten the bread, god bless you. Now let me sing a song for you and go. Sang the song like this;
Your beak is in my beg
My shoe is in your soup
You lay in the bed
I am going to eat my beak in the forest.
So the beggar has sang the song like this and gone away. After some time, the hunter husband of the girl has come back. He has asked his wife if the duck is cooked. His wife has explained what happened, and said the song what the beggar has sang. The hunter has understood the situation and rebuked her.
From that on, the Lazy Girl has given up the laziness.
