    John was a lazy farmer who always put off his work from day to day. He had corn to sow. A neighbour came for him and he went with him. The next day was wet and the next day he was sick. In the end he gave up as the season for sowing was past and he had no corn to reap.
    There are a good many people like John when they have anything to do instead of it they forget forget the old saying "Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to day.
