; n Lazy Man

ohn was Iazy.He didn't want to work. He preferred to stay at home and watch television. One day, John's wife went to the supermarket. She saw a "help wanted" sign in the supermarket window. The supermarket needed someone to put things on the shelves. She spoke to the manager. She told him that her husband didn't have a job but he was very strong. She told him that John would come to talk to him about the

job. When she got home, she told her husband about the job. John was watching television while she was talking to him. His wife was angry. She turned off the television. She ordered him to go to the supermarket to apply for the job. John didn't want his wife to be angry, so he went., On the way to the supermarket John thought what would happen if the manager offered him a job. He wouldn't be able to stay home and watch television. He would have to come to the supermarket every day and put things on the shelves" Then he had an idea. He decided to tell the manager that he had a so,re shoulder so that he could not raise his arm above his head. He was sure the manager wouldn't give him the job.,/ When he arrived at the supermarket, he told the manager that he needed a job. "Are you stron-e?" the manager asked. John explained that he couldn't raise his arm above his head. John told him that he had an accident at home while digging in the garden. "How high can you raise your arm?" the manager asked. John lifted his arm a little. "Only this high," he said. "And how high could you raise it before the accident?" asked the manager..

"This high," said John. And he lifted his arm above his head.
