Harrywas so lazy that although he had nothing else to do but drive his goat out to graze（放牧） every day, he still heaved（發(fā)出） many a sigh（嘆息） when he got back home in the evening after completing his day's laborsof it otherwise."

But Fat Katie was no less（不相上下，仍然） idle than Harry. "Harry dear," she said one day, "Why should we needlessly make our lives a miserylike this and spoil the best years of our youth? Those two goats wake us out of our best morning sleep anyway with their bleatingto the wall above their bed; and fearing that someone might steal it or the mice mightyget at it, Katie fetched in a sturdy（堅(jiān)定的，強(qiáng)健的） hazel rod and put it at the bedside, so that she wouldn't have to bestir herself unnecessarily but just reach for it and drive away any unwelcome visitors without having to get up.

Lazy Harry didn't like to rise before midday: "Too soon out of bed and you'll soon be dead," he would remark. So there he was one morning, still lolling among the feathers in broad daylight, having a good rest after his long sleep, and he said to his wife: "Women have a sweet tooth, and you've been at that honey again; I think our best plan, before it all gets eaten up by you, would be to give it in exchange for a goose and a young gander（雄鵝） ." "But not till we have a child to mind them!" replied Fat Katie. "You don't suppose I'd want to be bothered with young goslings（小鵝） , needlessly wearing out my strength?" "And do you suppose," said Harry, "that the boy will look after geese? Nowadays children don't do what they're told any more, they do just as they please, because they think they're cleverer than their parents, just like that farmhand who was sent to fetch a cow and started chasing three blackbirds（畫(huà)眉） ." "Well then," answered Katie, "this one had better look out if he doesn't do as I tell him. I'll take a stick to him and give his hide a real good tanning. Watch me, Harry!" she exclaimed in her excitement, seizing the stick she kept to drive away the mice, "watch me beat the backside off him!" She lifted the stick, but unfortunately struck the honey jar above the bed. The jar was knocked against the wall and fell to smithereens（碎片） , and all that fine honey went tricklingthat was invited to the wedding? It set out and got there in time for the christening（洗禮） . And just outside the house it fell from the top of a fence, and said to itself: 'More haste, less speed.'"
