    Your man is lazy enough said the Judge.
    Then the second woman said that her husband was so lazy that he lay in bed till the soot drops were falling down his throat.
    She said that her house was full of soot drops.
    Your man is lazy enough said the Judge.
    Then the third wife said that her husband was so lazy that if he was to be hanged to morrow and if he was told to put up his hand to save his life, he would not do it.
    Lazy enough said the Judge. Your man is the laziest and so the youngest son got the apple tree and the big pot.
    So he lived happy ever after.
