Laziness

Laziness was lying on her mat Time came galloping to his garden. “Come you man. Let’s go to work”. “I’ve no time to go there”, he said “But I’m here. Let’s go,” said Time “I can’t see you. My eyes are sleepy” “Look! Let’s run away-Death is coming.” Laziness got up, run but broke her leg. Death caught up with him riding a horse; Laziness stopped Death begging for help “Come sit on my horse. I’ll take you home.” Happily Laziness went with Death. Like Death, Laziness became adversary- Destroyer of ambitions and opportunities

A new classic tale. Nice. I like that you switched genders making Laziness genderless and encompassing.
