00:00Join Kids Heart Family!
00:30I don't feel so well.
00:32Ah, okay.
00:33But what do I get this time?
00:36Umm...
00:37You get more chocolates from me.
00:40And maybe a treat at the nearest fast food joint?
00:44Wow!
00:44That sounds perfect!
00:46You will get your maths homework tomorrow.
00:49Thanks, Bill.
00:50See you tomorrow.
00:58Hi, Jack.
00:59Have you seen Bill around?
01:01Hey, he is on sick leave for about two weeks.
01:05The doctor has advised him to get complete bed rest.
01:09Oh no!
01:10My maths homework!
01:12And what about my next homework?
01:15I will have to do it on my own.
01:18How would I do it?
01:21Come on, kids.
01:22Submit your math workbooks now.
01:29Good morning, Miss Ellie.
01:31I am sorry.
01:33I left my math workbook at home today.
01:36Well, that's not an acceptable excuse, Tofu.
01:40Your punishment is to submit the next four exercises
01:44from the workbook tomorrow.
01:46But, Miss Ellie, I am sorry.
01:49No excuses, Tofu.
01:51Get back to your seat now.
01:58Tofu, why are you crying?
02:01What happened?
02:02Tia, I used to reward Bill for doing my projects and homework.
02:07But now, he is on sick leave.
02:09How would I do it on my own?
02:12It is a lot of hard work.
02:14And I don't know how to do my homework.
02:17But Tofu, that is such a bad habit.
02:20You shouldn't have given all your projects and homework to Bill.
02:24You are running away from responsibilities and hard work.
02:28You will never learn anything
02:30if you continue with this habit of yours.
02:33I am sorry, Tia.
02:35Please help me out.
02:36You reminded me of a story.
02:38Come on, hear me out.
02:54In a small town nearby, there lived a kind fisherman named Finn.
02:59He was a generous and a hardworking man.
03:03Every day, he woke up early and went to work.
03:07And later in the evening, he would come
03:10and sell fish in the market and earn lots of dimes.
03:16One fine day, as the fisherman was on his way to work
03:20he was stopped by a beggar.
03:22Oh, generous man! Spare me a few dimes.
03:26I haven't had a grain of food in the past few days.
03:32Here you go, my friend.
03:38The next day, Finn was again stopped by the beggar.
03:42Oh, generous man! Spare me a few dimes.
03:46I am hungry.
03:49Here you go. Eat well.
03:52And the next day, Finn was stopped by the beggar yet again.
03:58But this time, Finn had an idea that the beggar was just lazy.
04:03He was a perfectly healthy man and he could get any job if he worked hard enough.
04:11My friend, here are a few dimes for today.
04:15But I have a greater reward for you
04:18if you come by the river to meet me tomorrow morning.
04:21A reward?
04:23Tomorrow morning?
04:24Ah, okay. I'll be there.
04:28Next day, as the sun rises
04:31the beggar wakes up with excitement in search of a greater reward.
04:36To the fisherman's surprise,
04:38the beggar was already there by the river before the fisherman arrived.
04:44Oh, hello there.
04:46You are here before time.
04:48I like the spirit, young man.
04:50Good morning.
04:52Here, throw this fishnet in the river and wait for your reward.
04:57What kind of a reward is this?
05:00Well, the reward isn't here yet.
05:03You will have to wait.
05:05Ah, okay.
05:08The beggar throws the fishnet in the river
05:11and paces up and down impatiently by the shore.
05:15Finn carefully watches his behavior and says the next thing.
05:20Hey, take it easy. Be patient.
05:23Come, sit down with me.
05:26Is this what you do every day?
05:28Don't you get frustrated working so hard and waiting so long by the river?
05:34Ha ha! Oh no, my friend.
05:37I give my best and wait patiently every day.
05:42The reward and contentment that I get later is worth it all.
05:47Oh look, you can now pull back the fishing net to the shore.
05:51The beggar jumps with excitement and pulls the fishing net towards him.
05:56He is stunned when he notices
05:59that the fishing net is filled with dozens of healthy fish.
06:06And here is the reward that you waited so patiently for.
06:11You can now go to the market and sell it off to earn some dimes.
06:16You don't have to beg anymore
06:18if you worked hard for yourself and not be lazy.
06:22Oh, kind man.
06:24I get the whole point of this now.
06:26Thank you so much for teaching me such an important lesson.
06:31Wow! That was an awesome story, Tia.
06:35I feel like I let my laziness overcome my patience
06:39and ability to work hard.
06:41Good job, boy. You got this.
