　　英语短篇故事参考翻译：　　

　　在一个遥远的地方，有一个国王，他有三个儿子，对每一个儿子他都非常喜好，他不知道自己死后应当把王位传给他们三个中的哪一个。所以，当他快要去世的时候，就把他们叫到身边说：“亲爱的孩子们，在我逝世后，你们三个中谁最勤，谁就持续我的王位。”老大说：“既然这样，这王位就是我的，因为我是最懒的儿子，当我躺下睡觉时，有任何东西落到我的眼睛里，我也勤得去擦掉，即使不能把眼睛闭上，我仍然会连续睡觉。”二儿子说：“爸爸，王位应该传给我，由于我是最懒的儿子。当我坐在火边取暖的时候，就是火燃到我的脚趾，我也懒得把腿收回来。”第三个儿子说：“爸爸，这王位是我的，因为我是你最懒的儿子，如果我就要被吊起来，绳索已经套在了脖子上，有人把一把锋利的小刀塞在我手里，要我切断绳子，我甘心被吊起来也懒得抬起手把绳子堵截。”父亲听到这里说道：“你是最合适的人选，你应该继承王位。”
