幽默故事

There was once a lazy boy.He was not willing to do anything．So nobody wanted to hire him．As time went by，he could live no longer．He asked one of his friends to introduce him to get an easier job.

The introducer thought for a moment.Then he said，“You go to take care of the graveyard．There is no job easier than this.”

The lazy boy went to work happily．But in a few days，he came back again，saying angrily，“I won't do it.”

“Why？”

“It's unfair to do this job．Those people are all lying．I'm the person who stand.”

参考译文

从前有个懒人，什么事都不想做，所以没人愿意雇用他。随着时间的推移，他再也没法混下去了，于是请一位朋友给他介绍个轻松点的工作。

介绍人想了一会儿，说：“你可以去看墓地，没有比这更轻松的活了。”

懒人欢天喜地地去了。几天后，他又回来了，生气地说：“我不想干了。”

“为什么？”

“太不公平了。他们都躺着，只有我一人站着。”
