Read together
Once upon a time, there was a lazy rake named Rusty. He was always proud of his shiny appearance, but never liked to work. One day, he saw a weed growing in the garden and had an idea to count how much money he could earn from it.
He started raking the weed and selling it as "Rusty's Rare Weeds" for a high price. People loved it and Rusty became very rich. He was so proud of himself, he even got a gold-plated rake to show off. But one day, the truth about Rusty's weeds came out and he lost all his hard-earned money.
Moral of the story: Honesty is always the best policy and don't be too lazy to work for your money.
