Lazy Cat

The cat who adopted me for almost a year is rather lazy sometimes. She only eats the food on the half plate near her and then stop, waiting for me to turn the plate for her.

That reminded me a funny story as a kid I heard in China.

There was a very lazy boy whose parents were planning a trip. The mother worried that the boy would starve to death so she made a gigantic pancake for her son. She believed that the boy would not even bother to fetch it when he became hungry so she made a hole of the pancake and hung it over his neck. However, when the parents came back from their trip, they found the son had indeed die of hunger - he only ate the part of the pancake immediately in front of his mouth. The rest still hung on his neck.

That is a champion. "My cat" has a long way to go.


Where is my pasta?
