Once upon a time, there was a man named Lazy. He wanted to have a big house and it took him over a year to build one. The house was so beautiful that all of his admired him very much.
But as time , his house started to have some problems. One day, an old neighbor said, "Your house is beautiful, but the grass in the yard is a bit overgrown." Lazy answered quickly," I know, but it's OK. I will cut it tomorrow." A few days , a mailman came by with a letter for Lazy. The mailman said, "Sir, your house is , but the windows are a bit dirty. You can make it more beautiful by them." Lazy said, "I know, but it's OK. I will do that tomorrow." Weeks passed by. Lazy's yard was in a mess. The paint was falling down and the windows were with dirt. One day, his brother came over to visit him. He was at what he saw and scolded (批评)him angrily," Lazy, I know why you're called Lazy. You're just like your name! What have you done for your house? It could fall apart at any second!"
There are many Lazys around us. Are you lazy, too? It's much better to just deal with things today than to wait until some imaginary(想象的) "tomorrow" that might not come.
