JOKES FROM ANCIENT CHINA

A Lazy Woman

A woman was very, very lazy, and would do nothing. If no one cooked for her, she would rather be hungry.

One day her husband was going out to do some business. Afraid that she would suffer from hunger, he baked a big cake, cut the center of it and slipped it around his wife's neck, and then left home at ease.

Five days passed, the man returned home from business. As soon as he entered the house, he found his wife dead. He was surprised and couldn't understand how she had died. When he stepped up to her, he saw only a bit of cake close to her mouth was eaten. She was so lazy that she had not even used her hands to put the cake in her mouth. So she died of hunger.
