The Lazy disciple

Once upon a time, in a big village, there lived a Lazy boy named Mohan. He was one of the members of the students learning in a Ashram. All the students were ashamed of Mohan. One evening, the great saint told the students that all of them were going to the next town to perform a ceremony and also told them to collect firewood from the forest for food.





Each of them went away with there axe to chop out the wood. Mohan was walking slowly to the forest path. He no sooner came across a dry tree. He thought to himself. " I am so lucky today to have found dry tree! After cutting the tree, I can rest under that tree. Then slowly, I can walk to the Guru's hut !'Thinking, Mohan chopped down the dry tree . Then he went to the big tree, leaving the firewood beside him.

Many hours passed. Mohan finally got up. It was already night!!Mohan swirled down the path and Mohan alas! Reached the hermit's hut. Everybody laughed at Mohan continuously. One of the student mocked at Mohan 'This lazy fellow has not understood what is happening!!! Mohan, we have already ate our dinner!!you are late! And also the wood you brought is wet due to rain! Today you should sleep without eating!" Mohan realized his mistake and became clever and active.
