One morning, paddy bear went to weed the garden. Paddy bear did not want to work in the garden. He wanted to run and play all day in the woods. Oh dear, said Paddy, I am tired of work. I don’t want to weed the garden. I wish that I could do just what I want to do for one day. Mother said, very well, tomorrow you may do just what you want to do all day long. Oh said Paddy, that will be fun, Now I must think about it, what do I like to do best?

Paddy bear thought and thought about things he liked to do. He liked to roll down hills, but that made him tired. He liked to splash in the water, but water made his coat wet, and sometimes it got up his nose. He liked to climb trees for honey, but sometimes he bees stung him. Paddy bear did not just what he liked to do best. I think that I will do nothing tomorrow, maybe I will just be lazy, do you think that you will like to be lazy, asked the mother bear. I’ll try it now and see, said Paddy. So he sat down under a tree. he sat there for a long long time, but he did not like that. Oh my oh me, thought Paddy. I am tired of doing nothing. It is not fun to be lazy.
