Once upon a time, there was a father with three sons who were lazy.

He
became ill and called a notary to make his will.
- Mister Notary - he said - all I have is a donkey and I would like it to be for the
laziest of my sons.

Few time after, the man died and the notary, seeing that days were passing and
none of the sons asked him about the will, called them to tell they

- Did you know that your father made a will before dying? Aren't you curious
about what he has left to you? -The notary read the will and then he explained
them.

- Now I have to know who is the laziest of the three.

And he addressed to the eldest brother.


- Start you, give me proofs of your laziness.

- I don't feel like telling anything - answered the eldest.


-Speak quickly if you don't want me to put you in jail!

-Once - explained the eldest - I had a red-hot coal on my shoe and even I
was burning I couldn't be bothered to move. Luckily, my friends noticed and
they put it out.
- You' re really lazy- said the notary- I would have left you to burn to know how
much you stood with the red-hot coal on your shoe.

Then he turned to the second brother.

- It's your turn. Tell us something.

- Are you going to put me in jail too if I don't speak?
