00:06Hey Bill. Can you please do my science project?
00:10I am very busy.
00:12Sure Tofu. If only you give me some reward.
00:16I will bring you lots of chocolates.
00:19Yay! Thanks.
00:23Hi Bill. Thanks for the science project.
00:27Can you do my maths homework?
00:30I don't feel so well.
00:32Ah, okay.
00:34But what do I get this time?
00:36Um, you get more chocolates from me.
00:40And maybe a treat at the nearest fast food joint?
00:44Wow, that sounds perfect.
00:46You will get your maths homework tomorrow.
00:49Thanks Bill. See you tomorrow.
00:52Hi chap. Have you seen Bill around?
01:01Hey, he is on sick leave for about two weeks.
01:05The doctor has advised him to get complete bed rest.
01:09Oh no. My maths homework.
01:12And what about my next homework?
01:15I will have to do it on my own.
01:18How would I do it?
01:21Come on kids. Submit your math workbooks now.
01:25Good morning Miss Ellie.
01:34I am sorry.
01:35I left my math workbook at home today.
01:39Well, that's not an acceptable excuse Tofu.
01:42Your punishment is to submit the next four exercises from the workbook tomorrow.
01:48But, Miss Ellie, I am sorry.
01:51No excuses Tofu.
01:53Get back to your seat now.
01:55Tofu, why are you crying? What happened?
02:04Tia, I used to reward Bill for doing my projects and homework.
02:09But now, he is on sick leave.
02:12How would I do it on my own?
02:14It is a lot of hard work.
02:16And I don't know how to do my homework.
02:19But Tofu, that is such a bad habit.
02:23You shouldn't have given all your projects and homework to Bill.
02:27You are running away from responsibilities and hard work.
02:32You will never learn anything if you continue with this habit of yours.
02:37I am sorry Tia.
02:39Please help me out.
02:41You reminded me of a story.
02:43Come on, hear me out.
02:53In a small town nearby, there lived a kind fisherman named Finn.
02:59He was a generous and a hard working man.
03:02Every day, he woke up early and went to work.
03:06And later in the evening, he would come and sell fish in the market and earn lots of dimes.
03:15One fine day, as the fisherman was on his way to work, he was stopped by a beggar.
03:22Oh, generous man.
03:24Spare me a few dimes.
03:26I haven't had a grain of food in the past few days.
03:30Here you go, my friend.
03:33The next day, Finn was again stopped by the beggar.
03:41Oh, generous man.
03:43Spare me a few dimes.
03:45I am hungry.
03:46Here you go.
03:47Eat well.
03:48And the next day, Finn was stopped by the beggar yet again.
03:57But this time, Finn had an idea that the beggar was just lazy.
04:03He was a perfectly healthy man and he could get any job if he worked hard enough.
04:09My friend, here are a few dimes for today.
04:14But I have a greater reward for you if you come by the river to meet me tomorrow morning.
04:21A reward?
04:22Tomorrow morning?
04:24Oh, okay.
04:25I'll be there.
04:27Next day, as the sun rises, the beggar wakes up with excitement in search of a greater reward.
04:35To the fisherman's surprise, the beggar was already there by the river before the fisherman arrived.
04:42Oh, hello there.
04:45You are here before time.
04:48I like the spirit, young man.
04:50Good morning.
04:51Here, throw this fishnet in the river and wait for your reward.
04:57What kind of a reward is this?
05:00Well, the reward isn't here yet.
05:03You will have to wait.
05:05Oh, okay.
05:08The beggar throws the fishnet in the river and paces up and down impatiently by the shore.
05:15Finn carefully watches his behaviour and says the next thing.
05:20Hey, take it easy.
05:22Be patient.
05:23Come, sit down with me.
05:26Is this what you do every day?
05:28Don't you get frustrated working so hard and waiting so long by the river?
05:34Ha, ha.
05:35Oh no, my friend.
05:37I give my best and wait patiently every day.
05:42The reward and contentment that I get later is worth it all.
05:47Oh, look.
05:48You can now pull back the fishing net to the shore.
05:51The beggar jumps with excitement and pulls the fishing net towards him.
05:56He is stunned when he notices that the fishing net is filled with dozens of healthy fish.
06:06And here is the reward that you waited so patiently for.
06:11You can now go to the market and sell it off to earn some dimes.
06:16You don't have to beg anymore.
06:18If you worked hard for yourself and not be lazy.
06:22Oh, kind man.
06:24I get the whole point of this now.
06:26Thank you so much for teaching me such an important lesson.
06:31Whoa!
06:32That was an awesome story, Tia.
06:35I feel like I let my laziness overcome my patience and ability to work hard.
06:41Good job, boy.
06:43You got this.
06:52All I am.
06:54Bye well, Raiders!
06:55The best of all.
