Secret To Win Laziness

Once upon a time, there lived a boy named Ryan in a small village. He lived with his parents in a small house outside the city. Ryan was very lazy. He helped his father in the fields every day, but his only job was to scare away the birds that came to eat the rice crop. Most people used sticks or slingshots to scare away the woodpeckers, but he put more effort into chasing them away. By tying ropes to different parts of the field, he could scare the birds away and then lie down and rest without getting up. His father worried about his laziness and wondered how he would manage if he fell ill, but because Ryan always completed his work, his father never got angry. One summer, during a dry season, his father became very ill, but Ryan tried his best to keep himself busy tending the farm. Within a few weeks, the crops began to die from lack of water, and Ryan couldn't save them alone. That night, Ryan sat outside under the stars, helpless and dejected. He wondered why he hadn't tried harder. Now, his family's hopes were shattered. The next morning, he heard people in the village talking. Ryan went to see what was going on. A soldier thought Ryan had won a big gold medal in a competition. "This could save my family." Without thinking much, Ryan said he would enter the competition. The villagers laughed and wondered how a lazy person like Ryan could defeat the strongest men in the entire kingdom. But Ryan didn't care. He had three days to reach the palace, so he left early. His parents didn't think Ryan would win, but they hoped it would inspire him to work harder and change his lazy ways. When the competition began about three days later, the other participants were strong and fit, which made Ryan nervous. "How can I beat these guys?" he thought. Then the rules were explained: they had to cross the lake, and the first three to finish would advance to the next round. The countdown began: 3, 2, 1. Everyone jumped into the lake and started swimming, but Ryan lagged behind. He thought, "I can't win. If I had thought about this more carefully, I could have won." He made a small boat by breaking twigs and using another piece of wood as a paddle. Ryan thought, "This is a lake crossing race, not a swimming race. I may not be strong, but I can be clever because the others are tired from swimming." Ryan crossed the lake slowly, but clearly, he left many of them behind. Finally, Ryan qualified for the second part of the difficult second round. The next day, the final competition began. Each competitor was given a large block of wood, and their task was to push it a kilometer. Behind them were several tools they could use, but they had to choose one. The first competitor quickly grabbed a rope and began pulling. The second competitor took a piece of wood and used it as a lever. However, I felt Ryan could stop using the tool carefully. "My muscles must be strong," Ryan thought to himself. After thinking for a while, he picked up a small knife. The crowd was amazed at how a knife could help him move such a large block, but instead of pushing it, he began carving it. He cut the block into a round shape. An hour later, Ryan finished carving. Instead of a heavy block, he easily formed a small ball from his heavy block and rolled it down the road, holding the others with all his strength and determination. Ryan was the first to cross the finish line. The crowd cheered loudly. No one expected the lazy boy to win. This story shows us that lazy people can be smart, but to achieve something big, they need a big reason, like Ryan's love for his family. So, if you feel the urge to work hard for your family, you will feel that urge. A big goal can motivate you to do your best.
