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.
