John was a boy who was notorious for his laziness. He spent his days lounging around his house, doing little else. He wouldn't lift a finger to do anything, even when it was something he enjoyed.

One day, from his usual spot on the porch, John noticed that the apple tree in their yard was brimming with ripe, juicy apples. His mouth watered at the sight of them.

He wanted to taste those apples, but he didn’t want to make the effort to climb the tree. Instead, he lay down under the tree, hoping that an apple would fall into his hands.

Hours passed, and John lay there, his stomach growling louder and louder. But not a single apple fell. His patience was wearing thin, but he refused to climb the tree.

As the sun began to set, John was getting desperate. Hungry and frustrated, he shouted at the tree, "Why won't you give me your apples?"

To his surprise, the tree responded, "I will give you my apples, but you must promise to never be lazy again." John couldn't believe his ears. A talking tree!

John thought for a moment and then agreed. He promised the tree that he would stop being lazy. The tree, pleased with his response, began to shed its apples.

John was delighted. He picked up the apples, savored their taste, and felt full. He thanked the tree for its generosity and went back home, feeling content.
