English Original
In a mountain village, there lived a man named Wang Laowu, notorious for his laziness. Everyone called him "Lazy Laowu," but he never admitted it. Whenever someone called him that, he would glare and retort, "Who's lazy? I just don't want to waste my effort."
One day, he went out. He had barely taken a few steps when he stumbled and fell. He got up, walked a few more steps, and fell again. This time, he simply lay on the ground and refused to get up. He muttered to himself, "If I knew this would happen, why did I bother getting up in the first place?"

前山村里有个王老五，懒得出奇，大家都叫他“懒老五”。可是王老五从来不承认自己懒，一听有人叫他“懒老五”，他就瞪眼反驳：“谁懒了？我只是不愿意白费力气罢了。”
有一天，他出门了。刚走了没几步，他就绊了一跤。他爬起来又走了几步，结果又摔倒了。这一回，他索性趴在地上不起来了。他自言自语地嘟囔着：“早知如此，刚才何必爬起来呢！”
