Question

Once there was a lazy and foolish man. He was too lazy to work as a farmer and

went around the village doing odd jobs for people. He was happy to make just

enough money to live from day to day. One day, the lazy man was walking through a

coconut plantation when the owner stopped him.

“Good afternoon, my friend” said the owner. “Do you want to make some money by

climbing the coconut trees and cutting down some coconuts for me?” The lazy man

was very good at climbing trees. “How much will you give me?” he asked.

“I will give you two coconuts from each tree you climb”, the owner said and there are

twenty-five trees. The lazy man agreed. He started to climb one of the trees. When he

reached the top, he said to himself: “There are twenty five trees which mean I’ll get

fifty coconuts. If I sell them, I’ll get enough money to buy twice as many cheap

coconuts. Then I’ll take out the oil from them, sell it and make a lot of money. With

the money, I’ll buy many chickens, when they grow up, they will lay many eggs and

the eggs will hatch more chickens. Those chickens will grow and lay more eggs and

hatch more chickens. I will have many, many chickens!”

Then I’ll sell the chickens and make a lot of money. With the money, I’ll buy a ship

and some expensive presents. Then I’ll sail to another country where I will meet a

beautiful princess and I’ll ask her to marry me...”

As he was talking to himself, the lazy man moved from side to side. He was so happy

and excited that he forgot he was on a coconut tree. He let go of the trunk and fell to

the ground.
