Willy the goose was very, very lazy. He never liked to
bend down and tie his shoelaces. He walked about with
undone laces.
One bright sunny day, Willy decided to go for a walk. He
put on his smart new cap and shoes and set off. As usual his
shoelaces were untied. At every street corner, someone would
call out to him, "Willy! Tie your shoelaces! It's undone!" But
Willy the goose pretended as though he did not hear them.
Pulling his cap jauntily over his eyes, he went on walking with
undone shoelaces! While walking down the hill, Willy tripped
on his shoelaces. Rumble, tumble, splash! Willy landed in the
dirty pond at the foot of the hill. Off flew his new cap and
down it went in the muddy water. Poor Willy thumped his
head against a nearby tree. Picking up his ruined cap, Willy
waddled home crying to his mother. "Now, Willy, if you had
listened to us, you wouldn't have hurt yourself!" said Mother.
Silly Willy had learnt his lesson. He ties his shoelace every
single day, now.
