    n Lazy Man

    ohn

    was Iazy.He didn't

    want

    to

    work. He

    preferred

    to

    stay

    at

    home

    and

    watch

    television.

    One

    day, John's wife

    went

    to

    the

    supermarket. She

    saw

    a

    "help

    want-

    ed" sign

    in

    the supermarket

    window.

    The supermarket

    needed someone

    to

    put

    things on the shelves. She spoke

    to the manager. She

    told

    him

    that her

    husband

    didn't

    have

    a

    job

    but

    he

    was

    very strong. She

    told

    him

    that John

    would

    come

    to talk to him about the

    job.

    When she

    got

    home, she told her

    husband about the

    job.

    John

    was

    watching television

    while she was

    talking

    to

    him.

    His wife

    was angry.

    She turned

    off

    the

    television.

    She ordered

    him

    to

    go

    to the supermarket

    to apply

    for

    the

    job.

    John

    didn't

    want his

    wife

    to be angry,

    so

    he went.,

    On the way to the supermarket John thought what would happen if

    the manager

    offered

    him a

    job.

    He

    wouldn't

    be able to stay home

    and

    watch television. He would have to come to the

    supermarket every day

    and

    put

    things on

    the shelves"

    Then

    he

    had

    an

    idea.

    He

    decided

    to

    tell

    the manager that

    he

    had

    a

    so,re

    shoulder

    so that he

    could

    not raise

    his

    arm

    above his head. He was

    sure

    the manager

    wouldn't

    give

    him

    the

    job.,/

    When

    he

    arrived

    at

    the supermarket, he

    told

    the manager

    that he

    needed

    a

    job.

    "Are

    you

    stron-e?" the manager asked.

    John explained

    that he

    couldn't

    raise

    his arm above

    his head.

    John

    told

    him

    that he had an accident

    at home

    while

    digging

    in

    the

    garden.

    "How

    high

    can

    you

    raise

    your

    arm?" the manager

    asked.

    John

    lifted

    his

    arm

    a little.

    "Only

    this high," he

    said.

    "And

    how high

    could

    you

    raise

    it before the

    accident?" asked

    the

    manager..

    "This

    high,"

    said John.

    And

    he lifted

    his arm

    above his

    head.

    the Salt,

    Please

    ames was a

    little

    boy

    who had no manners.

    His father

    and

    mother

    tried to teach

    him manners

    but

    they

    failed.

    His

    teachers

    tried

    to teach

    him

    manners too, but

    they

    had

    no

    success either. He

    never said

    "please"

    or

    "thank

    you,"

    never stood

    in a

    line,

    and always told

    people

    exactly

    what

    he

    thought.

    James' father

    was

    a businessman. One day, James'mother told James

    that

    some

    important

    people were

    coming to

    dinner that

    night.

    "They

    are

    your

    father's clients," she said.

    "Please

    try

    to have

    good

    manners for

    them.

    Remember

    to say

    'please'

    and

    'thank

    you.'

    Make

    sure

    your

    hands are clean and

    your

    hair is neatly combed. When they

    greet

    you,

    say

    'Hello

    Mr. and

    Mrs.

    Fox,' and don't

    talk

    with

    food

    in

    your

    mouth when we are having

    dinner."

    "Yes,

    Mom,"

    said

    James.

    When the visitors

    arrived,

    James' mother introduced them to him.

    "James,

    this is

    Mr.

    and Mrs.

    Fox,"

    she said.

    Mr. and Mrs. Fox smiled at James and Mr. Fox

    said

    "Hello,

    James."

    He

    shook

    hands

    with

    him.

    James' hands

    were

    very

    dirty

    and

    his hair

    was

    very

    messy.

    "Hi,"

    said

    James.

    "Why

    is

    your

    name Fox? Do

    you

    have

    four

    legs

    and a tail?"

    His father heard

    him

    and frowned at him,

    but

    James

    took no notice.

    When they were havin_s dinner

    James said to his mother,

    "These

    veg-

    etables

    don't

    have enough salt

    on

    them." He leaned

    over the

    table

    to

    get

    the salt shaker. He couldn't

    quite

    reach it, so he said to

    Mrs. Fox,

    "Pass

    the

    salt."

    His

    mouth

    was

    full of

    food.

    His mother

    heard him and

    was

    horrified.

    "James,"

    she

    whispered

    to

    him,

    "Pass

    the salt, please."

    James

    looked

    at her.

    Then

    he said,

    "Wait

    your

    turn.

    I

    asked for it

    first."

    and

    Colin

    had

    been

    neighbors

    for

    many

    years

    and

    had

    become good

    friends.

    They

    often visited

    each

    other

    and

    talked

    to

    each

    other over

    the

    jerlce.

    Sometimes

    they

    helped

    each

    other

    with

    small

    jobs,

    and

    they

    lent

    their

    tools

    to each

    other.

    One

    day

    a

    new

    neighbor

    moved

    into

    the house

    next

    to

    Brett.

    He

    came and

    introduced

    himself. His

    name

    was

    Max.

    Brett

    welcomed

    Max.

    "If

    there's

    anything

    I can

    do

    to help you

    sgitle-in,

    just

    let

    me

    know,"

    he said.

    "Thank

    you,"

    said

    Max.

    "I will."

    The next

    day

    Max

    knocked

    on Brett's

    docr

    and

    asked

    if he

    could

    borrow

    some

    gasoline

    because

    he

    wanted

    to mow

    the lawn.

    o'Yes,

    of course,"

    Brett

    said.

    -\-r

    He

    showed

    Max

    where

    he kept

    the

    gasoline.

    "Just

    help yourself

    if

    you

    run

    out again,"

    he

    told

    Max.

    "Thank

    you,"

    said

    Max.

    "This

    is

    a

    very

    friendly

    neighborhood,,,he

    said.

    "Everyone

    is very

    helpful."

    *

    A

    week

    later,

    Brett

    was

    reading

    the

    paper

    when

    he saw

    Max

    come

    into

    the

    y@

    and

    help himself

    to

    some

    more

    gasoline.

    Max

    smiled

    at

    him

    and fr-aved.

    Brett

    waved back.

    Max took

    some

    gasoline, went home

    rnd

    mowed

    his

    lawn.

    The

    next

    weeTT"rett

    was

    surprised

    to

    see Max

    come

    into

    the

    yard,

    smiii:

    and wave,

    and take

    more gasoline.

    Then

    he

    went

    home

    and

    mowed

    his

    lawn.

    when

    it happened

    the

    fourth

    time,

    Brett

    was

    angry.

    He went

    to

    visit

    Colin.

    "Colin,"

    he

    said,

    "that

    new

    neighbor

    of

    mine,

    Max,

    keeps

    is

    it

    every

    why

    doesn't

    he

    buy his

    own gasoline?

    I'm

    going

    to

    stop

    him.

    I think

    I will put

    some

    sugar in

    the

    gasoline.

    That

    will

    "Oh

    said

    Colin.

    "Don't
