十    二    个    懒    汉   

 从    前    有    十    二    个    小    厮   ， 他    们    白    天    什    么    事    都    不    干   ， 晚    上    也    不    肯    努    力   ， 只    是    往    草    地    上    一    躺   ， 各    自    吹    嘘    起    自    己    的    懒    劲    来   。 第    一    个    说   ：" 你    们    的    懒    惰    和    我    怎    能    相    比   ， 我    有    我    的    懒    法   。 我    首    先    要    注    意    保    护    身    体   。 我    吃    得    不    少   ， 喝    得    更    多   。 我    每    天    吃    顿    饭    就    稍    稍    停    一    会    儿   。 等    我    又    饿    了   ， 吃    起    来    就    更    香    了   。 早    起    可    不    是    我    的    事   ， 可    一    到    中    午   ， 我    早    就    找    到    了    午    休    的    地    方    了   。 东    家    叫    我    我    只    装    着    没    听    见   ， 他    再    叫   ， 我    还    要    等    一    等    再    站    起    来   ， 然    后    慢    吞    吞    地    走    过    去   。 这    种    日    子    还    凑    合   。"

 第    二    个    说   ：" 我    要    照    看    一    头    马   ， 可    我    老    把    马    嚼    子    塞    在    它    口    里   ， 不    高    兴    就    根    本    不    放    食   。 如    果    东    家    问   ， 我    就    说    喂    过    了   。 我    自    己    则    躺    在    燕    麦    里    睡    大    觉   ， 一    睡    就    是    四    个    小    时   。 醒    来    后   ， 就    伸    腿    在    马    身    上    蹬    几    脚   ， 算    是    给    马    刷    洗    了   。 多    一    事    不    如    省    一    事   ， 这    活    干    起    来    我    还    嫌    累    呢   ！"

 第    三    个    说   ：" 为    什    么    要    拿    活    儿    来    苦    自    己   ？ 一    点    也    没    什    么    好    处   。 我    干    脆    躺    在    阳    光    下    睡    大    觉   ， 天    开    始    下    雨    点    了   ， 我    也    懒    得    起    身   。 以    上    帝    的    名    义    你    尽    情    地    下    吧   ！ 最    后    下    得    噼    噼    啪    啪    响   ， 大    雨    竟    拔    掉    我    的    头    发    把    它    们    漂    走    了   ， 我    的    头    上    还    弄    了    个    大    口    子   ， 我    在    上    面    贴    上    块    膏    药   ， 也    就    好    了   。 这    种    伤    口    我    已    有    好    几    处    了   。"

 第    四    个    说   ：" 要    我    干    活   ， 我    先    游    荡    一    小    时   ， 养    足    精    力   。 然    后    慢    条    斯    理    地    问   ， 是    否    还    有    帮    手   。 如    果    别    人    帮    着    干   ， 就    让    他    把    主    要    活    儿    干    完   ， 我    只    在    旁    边    看   。 但    这    活    儿    还    是    太    多    了   。"

 第    五    个    说   ：" 那    有    什    么   ！ 请    想    想   ， 要    我    从    马    厩    里    出    粪   ， 再    装    上    马    车   。 慢    慢    地    来   ， 如    果    耙    上    叉    着    啥   ， 我    就    向    上    半    举    着   ， 先    休    息    一    刻    钟   ， 然    后    才    把    粪    叉    上    车   。 就    算    我    一    天    装    一    车    那    已    够    多    了   ， 我    才    不    想    干    死    干    活    呢   ！"

 第    六    个    说   ：" 真    不    要    脸   ！ 我    才    不    怕    干    活    呢   。 我    睡    了    三    周    可    没    脱    过    衣   。 系    什    么    鞋   ？ 脚    下    的    鞋    要    掉    就    掉    吧   ， 有    什    么    要    紧   ？ 上    楼    梯    时    我    是    一    抬    腿    跟    一    步   ， 慢    慢    地    数    着    余    下    的    级    数   ， 好    教    自    己    知    道    该    在    哪    里    坐    下   。"

 第    七    个    说   ：" 那    有    什    么    了    不    起    的   ？ 我    的    东    家    盯    着    我    干    活   ， 只    是    他    老    不    在    家   。 我    的    速    度    不    会    有    虫    子    快   ， 要    想    让    我    往    前    走    就    得    有    四    个    壮    汉    来    推    我   。 我    到    一    张    床    上    睡    觉   ， 等    我    一    倒    下   ， 他    们    再    也    叫    不    醒    我   。 他    想    让    我    回    去   ， 只    得    抬    着    我    走   。"

 第    八    个    说   ：" 我    看   ， 只    有    我    是    个    活    泼    的    汉    子   。 如    果    我    面    前    有    块    石    头   ， 我    决    不    会    费    神    抬    腿    跨    过    去   ， 我    索    性    躺    在    地    上   。 如    果    我    的    衣    服    湿    了    或    沾    上    了    烂    泥   ， 我    总    是    躺    在    地    上   ， 直    到    太    阳    把    它    晒    干   。 中    间    我    顶    多    翻    个    身    儿   ， 让    太    阳    能    照    得    到   。"

 第    九    个    说   ：" 那    办    法    挺    不    错   ！ 今    天    我    面    前    有    块    面    包   ， 但    我    懒    得    动    手    去    拿   ， 差    点    儿    没    饿    死   。 身    旁    也    有    个    罐   ， 但    它    样    子    那    样    大    而    且    重   ， 我    压    根    儿    不    想    举    起    它   ， 宁    愿    忍    受    饥    渴    的    煎    熬   ， 就    连    翻    翻    身    我    也    觉    太    累   ， 成    天    像    根    棍    子    似    地    躺    着   。"

 第    十    个    说   ：" 懒    惰    可    害    苦    了    我   ， 我    断    了    条    腿   ， 另    一    条    小    腿    还    肿    着   。 我    一    个    人    躺    在    了    大    路    上   ， 我    把    腿    儿    尽    量    伸    直   。 一    辆    马    车    过    来    了   ， 从    我    的    双    腿    上    压    过   ， 我    本    可    以    把    腿    缩    回    来   ， 但    我    没    有    听    到    马    车    来   ； 一    些    蚊    子    正    在    我    耳    朵    里    嗡    嗡    叫   ， 从    我    的    鼻    孔    钻    进    去   ， 又    从    我    嘴    里    爬    出    来   ， 谁    会    费    神    去    赶    走    它    们    呢   ！"

 第    十    一    个    说   ：" 昨    天    我    已    辞    职    不    干    了   。 我    可    没    有    兴    趣    为    东    家    去    搬    那    些    厚    厚    的    书   ， 整    天    干    都    干    不    完   。 但    说    句    老    实    话   ， 是    他    辞    退    了    我   ， 不    再    用    我    了   ， 主    要    是    因    为    我    把    他    的    衣    服    放    在    灰    尘    里   ， 全    被    虫    子    蛀    坏    了   。 事    情    就    是    这    样   。"

 第    十    二    个    说   ：" 今    天    我    驾    着    车    儿    去    趟    乡    下   ， 我    为    自    己    在    车    上    做    了    张    床   ， 美    美    地    睡    了    一    觉   。 等    我    醒    来   ， 缰    绳    已    从    我    手    中    滑    掉   ， 马    儿    差    点    儿    脱    了    辕   ， 马    套    全    丢    了   ， 项    圈   、 马    勒   、 马    嚼    子    通    通    不    见    踪    影   。 而    且    车    子    又    掉    进    了    泥    坑    里   。 我    可    不    管    这    一    套   ， 又    继    续    躺    下   ， 最    后    东    家    来    了   ， 把    马    车    推    了    出    来   。 要    是    他    不    来   ， 眼    下    我    还    躺    在    车    上   ， 舒    舒    服    服    地    睡    大    觉    呢   ！"
