Tale of two loafers

There lived in the old city two lazy people who do not want to work. Lazy A said, “Why should we work? Companies are exploiting us. We are going to imitate new ways to avoid working or being exploited.” Hearing this, lazy B, who has some conscience, said: “How can it be possible, when all religions or states insist that people work?” Lazy A paused for a moment.

Lazy A started recounting his bitter experience with the companies he had worked for. Do you know how deceptive employers are? Loafer B nodded, but didn’t fully agree. Loafer A continued: “I worked for a large bank very recently. We were never short of anything there. We used to get free food, drinks and snacks. But I left that company.” Lazy B, who did not have the opportunity to work in large companies, asked: “How can you leave such a good job?” Lazy A said, what are you thinking, do you think I quit my job? “” So how did you lose your job, now answer me? “Asked lazy B.

It is true that I passed the interview successfully. But that is not enough to survive in a job. Loafer A clarified. One should also be able to handle the workload, which is not that easy. Explain more, asked the second bum. Lazy A continued: “First they tell us to take on so much work, then they slowly double it down and that makes most of us leave.” Actually! Exclaimed lazy B.

Listen to me, said Loafer B. My experience is different from yours. He worked in a small company with a negligible sum. Initially, the manager who appears to be benevolent allowed us to work five days a week. It went on like this for some time until the company began struggling for revenue. One fine day, the manager, who was a woman, told me to work seven days a week. This made me quit my job.

Well, we are both unemployed. Let us wander, Lazy A’s suggested. Other than that, what else can we do? Lazy B expressed his helplessness.

As the duo walked the streets, they watched a wedding performance. Lazy A alerted the second lazy. Friend, have you noticed marriage? Loafer B said ‘yes’ but expressed helplessness about how to have a married life when staying at work is a problem. You are a fool, said lazy A to B. Why do you call me a fool? The second bum got irritated. Loafer A cut to the chase. We are both not fit for this society. People give their daughters in marriage only if we have stable jobs. Yes, that’s true, lazy B nodded. We are failures and no father will give his daughter in marriage.

LOL; you should be practical. Food and shelter are a problem for the unemployed. That is why I say, we should enter the wedding hall and act as guests. We can see the happily married couple and participate in dinner thereafter. Good idea, but if we get caught, the second bum will hesitate. Looking at lazy A’s confidence, lazy B walked into the wedding hall.

You must not speak in the regional language, the first bum warned. Okay, the second bum agreed. They both looked at the marriage function and wondered if they could afford one of those. For the moment, lazy A gave a signal, when I move fast, I get up and go into the dining room. Eat sumptuous food and escape the scene. Both loafers enjoyed a sumptuous feast at dinner.

You know, the first bum sparked the conversation? We can have meals at least once for 365 days at the expense of others. What I found is that we can only work for shorter periods in companies. So to avoid hunger, we have to resort to petty tricks. ” Let’s be lazy and live like this, agreed the second lazy.

As the days went by, the second bum asked a few questions. From time to time, we can manage the food. But what about accommodation? “We should pitch tents by the rivers,” suggested the first bum. Yes, we can wash our clothes in the river and when we are hungry we go to parties, suggested the second bum. “Yes, now you’ve gotten smart,” acknowledged the first bum. Although they planned the same, they did not pitch a tent to live, as they had some income to survive.

The two bums began to live happily like this. Meanwhile, the second bum got a job. He worked for several months and forgot about the first bum. One day, the second bum discovered that insults in the workplace are hard to bear. In that moment, he remembered the first bum. Where are you lazy A? Once he knocked on the doors of the first loafer. “I just got off work a week ago. Now I have some money to pay for my rent and food. Leave us slogan tricks to live happily, ”suggested the first lazy.

We’ll raise funds by acting as social workers, suggested lazybones B. How? Can you do that? The first bum asked. The second bum had some experience writing to foreign donors. But he was not an expert in creating a real plan. Don’t worry, we will impersonate social workers and take photos, videos and send them to donors. Write politely, while not begging, they should feel that there is a genuine cause to support. So they just send us money, otherwise not. The duo managed in part to gain support for a few months. Once it was over, the second bum said, “I don’t think we can go on like this for long. We have to work.” The first bum was partly convinced and said, “We should work for shorter periods and earn some money.”

The two bums continued in the same way, sometimes working, sometimes not, eating at the expense of others or cheating rich donors who care for the poor. The people around them observed their plump faces and robust body, the result of wedding dinners. They cheated companies, people, and lived like lazy people.
