Mr. Green is a kind old man. He often helps people in need. And he’s kind of smart, too. One Sunday afternoon, he finished his lunch and went out for a walk with his granddaughter, Kate. In front of a park, they saw three beggars there.

“Why do they ask for money in the street?” asked the little girl. “Because they are poor. ” answered Mr. Green.

“But why don’t they go to work?” asked the little girl again. “Because they are too lazy.” Mr. Green smiled and said.

Just then the girl asked, “Do you know who is the laziest of them, grandpa?”

“That’s easy.” said Mr. Green, “I can show it to you.”

He came up to the beggars, brought out five dollars and said, “I’ll give the money to the laziest person of you. Tell me who he is.”

“I lost my job two years ago. ” the first beggar stood up quickly and said.

“Of course I am! I stopped working one year earlier than him.” the second beggar said, “So give me the money.”

However, the third man went on lying (躺着) on the ground and said, “Come here, Sir. Put the money into my bag!”
