🧢 Lazy Jack 🧢
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jack who lived with his mother in a little cottage. They were very poor, and while Jack’s mother worked hard spinning cotton, Jack was... well, a bit too relaxed. 😴 He spent his days basking in the sun 🌞 and warming himself by the fire 🔥, which earned him the nickname "Lazy Jack." 💤
One day, his mother had enough! She told him that if he didn't start working for his porridge, she’d send him off to earn his own living. 🍲 This finally got Jack moving! He set out to find a job, but let’s just say that things didn’t go quite as planned... 😅
Jack’s Silly Adventures 🚶♂️😆
Tuesday: Jack found work with a farmer and earned a penny 💰, but he lost it while crossing the river 🌊. “You silly boy!” his mother scolded, “You should have put it in your pocket!” “Yes Mother, I’ll do so next time,” replied Jack. 🙄
Wednesday: Jack got a job with a cow-keeper 🐄 and was given a jar of milk 🥛. Remembering his mother’s advice, he put the jar in his pocket—oops! The milk spilled everywhere before he made it home. “You should have carried it on your head!” his mother exclaimed. “Yes Mother, I’ll do so next time,” Jack said. 🤦♂️
Thursday: Jack worked for a farmer and got a cream cheese 🧀. This time, he balanced it on his head! But by the time he reached home, the cheese was ruined and matted in his hair. 😆 “You nincompoop!” cried his mother, “You should have carried it in your hands!” “Yes Mother, I’ll do so next time,” Jack promised. 🤷♂️
Friday: Jack’s next job was with a baker, who gave him a tomcat 🐱. Jack carried the cat gently in his hands, but the feisty kitty scratched him and ran off! 😿 “You twit!” said his mother, “You should have tied it with a string and dragged it along!” “Yes Mother, I’ll do so next time,” sighed Jack. 🧵
Saturday: Jack worked for a butcher who gave him a shoulder of mutton 🍖. Jack tied it to a string and dragged it along the ground, but the meat was completely ruined by the time he got home. “You daft boy!” shouted his mother, “You should have carried it on your shoulder!” “Yes Mother, I’ll do so next time,” Jack replied. 🤦♀️
The Donkey on Jack’s Shoulders 🐴😆
Monday: Jack found a job with a cattle-keeper, who gave him a donkey as payment. 🐴 But how to bring the donkey home? 🤔 Jack remembered his mother’s advice and tried to carry the donkey on his shoulders! 💪 It wasn’t easy, but Jack managed it and set off home, donkey legs flailing in the air. 🐴🙃
Now, in a nearby house lived a rich man with a daughter who had never laughed or spoken in her life. 😶 The doctors said she would never speak until something made her laugh. Just then, she looked out the window and saw Jack carrying a donkey on his back! 😂 The sight was so ridiculous that she burst out laughing and immediately began to speak and hear! 🎉
A Happy Ending 🌟💰
The girl’s father was so happy that he showered Jack with gold as a reward. ✨💰 Jack returned home, jingling with gold coins, and his mother couldn’t believe their good fortune! She gave him big hugs 🤗 and told him that from now on, he could be as silly as he wanted. 🥰
And Jack, well, he was never quite so lazy again, but he always kept his sense of humor! 😄
