A teacher, on his way to his school, used to see a young man sprawling under a tree, dozing or whistling or humming a tune.
One day the teacher could not keep himself from speaking to him.
“Hello, young man, why don’t you take up some work?”-asked the teacher.
“What for?” asked the young man in return,
“You’ll earn, of course!”
“What for?”
“Well…” the teacher hesitated and said, “You’d get married and have children.”
“What for?”
“They will grow up and earn for you!”
“What for?”
“So that you can relax!”
“Gentleman, what do you think I’m doing now?” asked the young man and devoted himself to whistling.
The teacher fell silent and went his way.
