There were two lazy men who       did any work at all. They     spend the whole day sitting in the sun and sleeping     talking about what they would do when they were         .Many years went    in this way and the two men      poor. One summer’s day as they were sitting       on a bench in the sunshine, one of the men jumped       his feet without warning and exclaimed, “We can’t go on     this. We’ve got to do something to       some money.”
“     for instance?” asked his friend in a     voice.
“We’ll go to the mountains and     snails（蜗牛）,” said the first man.
The second man didn’t want to go out at first. But in the end his friend     him. They each took a bucket（桶）and set     for the mountains. They walked extremely slowly. When they reached the hill, they looked     it might have a lot of snails on it. The first man said, “Let’s work     . I’ll go up this side with my bucket, and you go up the other side with    , we’ll meet at the top.”
They     snails all day and in the evening they met on top of the hill. “How many did you get?” asked the first man. “Two,” said the second man. “I     got three, but one got away.”
