The little bird, Clumsy, is very lazy and does nothing but eat, play and sleep every day. All the children with him go to learn to fly, but he does not go.

  His friends ask him, "Clumsy, aren't you going to learn with us?"

  Clumsy said, "There's no use learning that, I have my mom and dad to protect me, I don't need to learn."

  "But Clumsy you are a little bird, you can't fly, so how can you live?" My friend continued.

  Clumsy said impatiently, "It's annoying, I'm not learning, I'm just not learning. I'm going to go eat something nice." The friends shook their heads, sighed, and went off to practice flying.

  Clumsy tasted the food alone, stretched from time to time, and muttered: Look how stupid they are! So much good food to eat, to learn what useless things. I can't understand it.

  After a month, the friends all learned to fly and danced in the sky. They met up to see Clumsy.

  "Clumsy, wow, why have you gotten so fat? We learned to fly, look, Clumsy," said the friends jumping. Clumsy opened his sleepy eyes and said, "You guys are making a lot of noise, I can't, and I'm not learning. You care about me so fat, I do not need you guys, go away, so annoying, disturb my good dream", "and my food ah."

  The friends turned around helplessly and flew away. Clumsy yawned and went back to sleep.

  At that moment, a snake climbed up the big tree and quietly crawled towards Clumsy.

  Clumsy turned around, his brow locked, not noticing the danger behind him. The snake spat its core and got closer and closer to Clumsy, opening its mouth and looking like it was about to swallow Clumsy.

  The friends in the sky saw all this and rushed down like a rocket, "Clumsy, wake up, run, there is danger".

  Clumsy hurriedly opened his eyes and waved his wings, but to his surprise, a grunt rolled down the tree branch.

  The snake did not give up and came after him again. In an emergency, the friends grabbed Clumsy and brought him to a safe place before he was out of danger.

  Clumsy thanked his friends for saving his life, but when he thought of his attitude just now, his face turned red with shame. He whispered, "I'm sorry for what happened, thank you for saving me. I was wrong. I want to learn to fly with you, can you teach me?"

  The friends said, "Of course, you can: only ......"

  Dumb and Dumber looked down and said, "Only what?"

  "You, you have to lose weight first, otherwise how can you learn with that round belly of yours?" The friends laughed and said, "Hahahaha, Clumsy we are kidding with you. Let's go, we'll teach you to learn to fly.

When spring came, the birds were busy flying around the woods, taking back branches to build their new houses among the trees.

  When the flies saw it, they laughed at his stupidity: "A guy who doesn't know how to enjoy himself! A guy who doesn't know how to be happy!"

  The bird did not understand the fly and asked, "What are you talking about?"

  The fly said proudly, "I mean, you are a guy who doesn't know how to enjoy himself. How tiring it is to build a new house by yourself. Look at me, hey, I live in a lazy piggy's house, the wind can't blow, the rain can't drench, how comfortable!"

  The bird looked at the fly with contempt, did not talk to the fly again, and continued to work hard to build a new house.

  Monkey, the forest health inspector, criticized Lazy Piglet unceremoniously, showed him the yellow card, and warned him to clean up the dirty and smelly house immediately.

  The lazy piggy's face reddened and he cleaned the room, drove the flies out of the door, and installed a beautiful screen window.

  Birdie's new house was finished. Birdie and Piglet looked at their beautiful new home and both laughed happily.

  The flies were homeless and envious as they watched the birds singing happily in the new house they had built.

  When it rained, the bird's song was even clearer and more pleasing to the ear. The flies, however, were soaked by the rain that they bumped east and west and fled in a hurry.
