THE LAZYBONES
When someone is very lazy, we often call him “lazybones”. Young was real lazybones indeed. Why, right no his father was complaining about him!“That boy!” said Mr. Jones. “ He’s really lazy. He does nothing but laze about all day.”
It was true. Tom didn’t care to go out and play with his friends. He didn’t like to do his home work or any odd jobs round the house either. After school he went straight to his room and lay down. After dinner he lazed about again till it was for bed. And in the morning his mother had a hard time getting him out of bed. Poor Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones didn’t know what to do with their lazy son.
Mr. Jones owned a small bakery in town. He had only one helper. Bob: so he had work very hard. He baked a hundred loaves each morning and Bob went round on a horse-cart to deliver them. Then Mr. Jones told Tom to watch some cakes to put in his shop-window. His cakes were delicious and many people came to buy from him. He was busy all day, but Tom did nothing to help.
One day Mr. Jones told Tom to watch some cakes in the oven. Instead of watching the cakes, Tom feel asleep and the cakes were burnt. Mr. Jones was furious! “ Can’t you do anything properly?” he scolded. “Why, you slept all day yesterday. I don’t know how you can sleep anymore.
“Maybe Tom’s just used to being lazy,”. Mrs. Jones said. “Everyone says he’s lazy, so he just stays that way.”
Perhaps Mrs. Jones was right. A few days later Mr. Jones had a bad cold. The doctor said he had to stay in bed for a week. “My goodness, I can’t!” Said Mr. Jones. “What will happen to my shop?”.
“Don’t worry about the shop,” said Mr. Jones. “Bob, Tom and I will look after it.”
“Tom?” said Mr. Jones. “ As if he would do anything to help!” Although Mrs. Jones Looked cheerful, she felt worried about how she would manage. She could do the baking and tidy the house. Bob could still deliver the bread. But who could cook the meals and look after Mr. Jones?
“I know how to bake,” said Bob. “ I’ve often watch Mr. Jones baking. I can do that job. Then you’ll be free to cook the meals and look after Mr. Jones.”
“But who will deliver the bread? ”Asked Mrs. Jones.
“Leave that to Tom,” said Bob cheerfully
“Tom stared at Bob. “That’s hard work,” he said.
“And I’ll have to get up very early each morning.”
“Well, somebody has to do it,” said Mrs. Jones firmly.
So, whether Tom liked it or not, Bob woke him up at five every morning. Together the boys loaded the horse-cart with freshly-baked loaves. Then Tom went round to deliver the bread.
Of course the customers were very because Mr. Jones was ill. “And you’re helping to by delivering the bread,” the costumers said. “Well done, Tom. I’m sure your parents must be very proud of you.”
As the day passed, more and more people praised Tom. After a while Tom began to feel proud of himself too. Working wasn’t so bad after all. In fact, it was quite pleasant to help one’s parents and be praised for it. Can you guess what happened? Yes, from that day on, Tom stopped being a lazybones.
SANG PEMALAS
Ketika seseorang sangat malas, kita sering memanggilnya "pemalas". Muda pemalas memang nyata. Mengapa, tidak berhak ayahnya mengeluh tentang dia!"Anak itu!" Kata Mr Jones. "Dia benar-benar malas. Dia tidak apa-apa selain bermalas-malas tentang sepanjang hari. "
Memang benar. Tom tidak peduli untuk pergi keluar dan bermain dengan teman-temannya. Dia tidak suka melakukan pekerjaan rumah atau pekerjaan serabutan putaran rumah baik. Sepulang sekolah ia langsung ke kamarnya dan berbaring. Setelah makan malam dia lagi sampai lazed tentang itu untuk tidur. Dan di pagi hari ibunya memiliki kesulitan untuk keluar dari tempat tidur. Miskin Mr Jones dan Mrs Jones tidak tahu apa yang harus dilakukan dengan anak malas mereka.
Tuan Jones memiliki sebuah toko roti kecil di kota. Dia hanya punya satu pembantu. Bob: jadi dia bekerja sangat keras. Dia seratus roti panggang setiap pagi dan Bob berkeliling di kereta-kuda untuk membebaskan mereka. Kemudian Tuan Jones mengatakan kepada Tom untuk menonton beberapa kue untuk dimasukkan ke dalam-jendela tokonya. kue-Nya adalah orang-orang lezat dan banyak datang untuk membeli dari padanya. Dia sibuk sepanjang hari, tetapi Tom tidak melakukan apa pun untuk membantu.
Suatu hari Tuan Jones diberitahu Tom untuk menonton beberapa kue di oven. Alih-alih menonton kue, Tom merasa tertidur dan kue dibakar. Tuan Jones sangat marah! "Tidak bisakah kau melakukan sesuatu dengan benar?" Dia memarahi. "Kenapa, kau tidur sepanjang hari kemarin. Aku tidak tahu bagaimana kau bisa tidur lagi.
"Mungkin Tom hanya digunakan untuk menjadi malas,". Mrs Jones mengatakan. "Semua orang bilang dia malas, jadi dia hanya tetap seperti itu."
Mungkin Mrs Jones benar. Beberapa hari kemudian Mr Jones dingin yang buruk. Dokter mengatakan ia harus tinggal di tempat tidur selama seminggu. "Ya ampun, aku tidak bisa!" Said Mr Jones. "Apa yang akan terjadi untuk toko saya?".
"Jangan khawatir tentang toko," kata Mr Jones. "Bob, Tom dan aku akan terlihat setelah itu."
"Tom?" Kata Mr Jones. "Seolah-olah dia akan melakukan apa saja untuk membantu!" Meskipun Mrs Jones Dilihat ceria, dia merasa khawatir tentang bagaimana dia akan mengelola. Dia bisa melakukan baking dan rapi rumah. Bob masih bisa memberikan roti. Tapi siapa bisa memasak makanan, dan merawat Mr Jones?
"Saya tahu bagaimana membuat kue," kata Bob. "Saya sering menonton Mr baking Jones. Saya bisa melakukan pekerjaan itu. Kemudian Anda akan bebas untuk memasak makanan dan merawat Mr Jones. "
"Tapi siapa yang akan memberikan roti? "Mrs Jones Ditanyakan.
"Tinggalkan bahwa untuk Tom," kata Bob riang
"Tom menatap Bob. "Itu kerja keras," katanya.
"Dan aku harus bangun sangat pagi setiap pagi."
"Yah, seseorang harus melakukannya," kata Mrs Jones tegas.
Jadi, apakah Tom suka atau tidak, Bob membangunkannya pukul lima setiap pagi. Bersama anak-anak dimuat kuda-kereta dengan roti yang baru-dipanggang. Kemudian Tom berkeliling untuk memberikan roti.
Tentu saja pelanggan sangat karena Mr Jones sakit. "Dan kau membantu dengan memberikan roti," kata pelanggan. "Bagus, Tom. Aku yakin orang tua anda pasti sangat bangga padamu. "
Saat hari berlalu, semakin banyak orang memuji Tom. Setelah beberapa saat Tom mulai merasa bangga dengan dirinya juga. Bekerja tidak begitu buruk. Bahkan, hal itu cukup menyenangkan untuk membantu orangtua dan dipuji untuk itu. Dapatkah kamu menebak apa yang terjadi? Ya, sejak hari itu, Tom berhenti menjadi pemalas.
DOCTOR KNOWALL
There was once upon a time a poor peasant called Crabb, who drove with two oxen a load of wood to the town, and sold it to a doctor for two tales. Rich and great lord had some money stolen. Then he was told about Doctor Knowall who lived in such and such a village, and must know what had become of the money. So the lord had the horses harnessed to his carriage, drove out to the village, and asked Crabb if he were Doctor Knowall. Yes, he was, he said. Then he was to go with him and bring back the stolen money. ’Oh, yes, but Grete, my wife, must go too.’ The lord was willing, and let both of them have a seat in the carriage, and they all drove away together.
When they came to the nobleman’s castle, the table was spread, and Crabb was told to sit down and eat. ’Yes, but my wife, Grete, too,’ said he, and he seated himself with her at the table. And when the first servant came with a dish of delicate fare, the peasant nudged his wife, and said: ’Grete, that was the first,’ meaning that was the servant who brought the first dish. The servant, however, thought he intended by that to say: ’That is the first thief,’ and as he actually was so, he was terrified, and said to his comrade outside: ’The doctor knows all: we shall fare ill, he said I was the first.’ The second did not want to go in at all, but was forced. So when he went in with his dish, the peasant nudged his wife, and said: ’Grete, that is the second.’
This servant was equally alarmed, and he got out as fast as he could. The third fared no better, for the peasant again said: ’Grete, that is the third.’ The fourth had to carry in a dish that was covered, and the lord told the doctor that he was to show his skill, and guess what was beneath the cover. Actually, there were crabs. The doctor looked at the dish, had no idea what to say, and cried: ’Ah, poor Crabb.’ When the lord heard that, he cried: ’There! he knows it; he must also know who has the money!’
At this the servants looked terribly uneasy, and made a sign to the doctor that they wished him to step outside for a moment. When therefore he went out, all four of them confessed to him that they had stolen the money, and said that they would willingly restore it and give him a heavy sum into the bargain, if he would not denounce them, for if he did they would be hanged. They led him to the spot where the money was concealed. With this the doctor was satisfied, and returned to the hall, sat down to the table, and said: ’My lord, now will I search in my book where the gold is hidden.’ The fifth servant, however, crept into the stove to hear if the doctor knew still more. But the doctor sat still and opened his A B C book, turned the pages backwards and forwards, and looked for the cock.
As he could not find it immediately he said: ’I know you are there, so you had better come out!’ Then the fellow in the stove thought that the doctor meant him, and full of terror, sprang out, crying: ’That man knows everything!’ Then Doctor Knowall showed the lord where the money was, but did not say who had stolen it, and received from both sides much money in reward, and became a renowned man.
DOKTER KNOWALL
Ada sekali waktu seorang petani miskin yang disebut Crabb, yang mengendarai dengan dua ekor lembu beban kayu ke kota, dan menjualnya kepada dokter untuk dua cerita. Kaya dan tuan besar memiliki beberapa uang dicuri. Lalu ia diberi tahu tentang Dokter Knowall yang tinggal di desa ini dan itu, dan harus tahu apa yang terjadi dengan uang. Jadi tuan itu kuda-kuda dimanfaatkan untuk kereta-nya, berkendara ke desa, dan bertanya Crabb jika ia Dokter Knowall. Ya, ia, katanya. Kemudian ia pergi dengan dia dan membawa kembali uang yang dicuri. 'Oh, ya, tapi Grete, istri saya, harus pergi juga.' Adalah tuan yang bersedia, dan membiarkan keduanya memiliki kursi di kereta, dan mereka semua melaju pergi bersama.
Ketika mereka datang ke istana bangsawan itu, meja itu menyebar, dan Crabb disuruh duduk dan makan. "Ya, namun istri saya, Grete juga," katanya, dan ia duduk bersamanya di meja. Dan ketika hamba pertama datang dengan sepiring tarif halus, petani menyikut istrinya, dan berkata: "Grete, itu adalah, pertama 'berarti bahwa adalah pelayan yang membawa hidangan pertama. hamba, bagaimanapun, pikirnya dimaksud bahwa untuk mengatakan: "Itu adalah pencuri pertama, 'dan dia benar-benar begitu, dia takut, dan berkata kepada kawan di luar:" Dokter tahu semua: kita akan tarif sakit, dia bilang aku adalah yang pertama 'kedua tidak mau masuk sama sekali., tapi dipaksa. Jadi, ketika ia pergi dengan masakan, menyikut petani istrinya, dan berkata: '. Grete, yang kedua'
Hamba ini sama-sama ketakutan, dan dia keluar secepat mungkin. Yang ketiga bernasib tidak lebih baik, untuk petani lagi berkata: ". Grete, bahwa adalah yang ketiga 'Yang keempat harus membawa dalam cawan yang tertutup, dan tuan dokter mengatakan bahwa dia adalah untuk menunjukkan kemampuan, dan coba tebak adalah di bawah penutup. Sebenarnya, ada kepiting. Dokter menatap hidangan, tidak tahu harus berkata apa, dan menangis: "Ah, miskin Crabb." Ketika tuan mendengar itu, ia berseru: 'Ada! dia tahu itu, ia juga harus tahu siapa yang punya uang!
Pada saat ini para pelayan tampak sangat gelisah, dan membuat tanda ke dokter bahwa mereka ingin dia keluar sebentar. Ketika itu dia pergi keluar, keempat dari mereka mengaku bahwa mereka telah mencuri uang itu, dan mengatakan bahwa mereka rela mengembalikannya dan memberinya jumlah berat ke dalam tawar-menawar, jika ia akan tidak mencela mereka, karena jika dia mereka akan digantung. Mereka membawanya ke tempat di mana uang itu tersembunyi. Dengan dokter merasa puas, dan kembali ke aula, duduk ke meja, dan berkata: ". Tuanku, sekarang akan saya mencari dalam buku saya di mana emas tersembunyi 'The hamba kelima, bagaimanapun, merayap ke dalam tungku untuk mendengar apakah dokter tahu masih lebih. Tapi dokter duduk diam dan membuka bukunya ABC, membalik halaman belakang dan ke depan, dan mencari ayam.
Karena dia tidak bisa menemukannya segera ia berkata: "Aku tahu Anda berada di sana, jadi anda lebih baik keluar! 'Lalu sesama dalam pemikiran kompor yang berarti dia dokter, dan penuh teror, melompat keluar, menangis:" Itu orang tahu segalanya 'Lalu Dokter Knowall menunjukkan tuan mana uang itu, tapi tidak mengatakan siapa yang dicuri, dan diterima dari kedua sisi uang banyak hadiah, dan menjadi orang terkenal!.
