A husband and wife lived in the same village - the lazy Tyuni and the slacker Uri. Tyuni and Uri did nothing all day long, just slept. They were even too lazy to boil some tea for themselves and get up to drink water.
They had a donkey, but Tyuni's parents fed it. After the death of Tyuni's parents, the couple continued to live the same way. The villagers decided to teach the lazy people a lesson: bury them alive so that they would not set a bad example for the youth. The idlers were put on a cart, covered with an old, worn carpet and taken to the cemetery. On the way, Uri felt sick from the scorching sun, and she threw off the carpet, and when the cart drove up to the cemetery, Tyuni and Uri began to moan and groan. At this time, a horseman appeared at the cemetery gates and asked: “Where are you taking these people?” “These people are slackers, we want to bury them so that they do not have a bad influence on our youth,” answered one of the peasants. “Anyway, they don’t have bread to feed themselves, and in the end they will die of hunger,” said another.
The horseman felt sorry for the lazy people, and he said: “There is no need to bury them alive, I will give them wheat, and they will live.”
Tyuni, hearing the words of the horseman, shouted: “Is this wheat threshed or does it still need to be threshed?” — Will he bake bread or not? — in turn, asked the lazy Uri. - B-ah-ah, are there really such people still in this world?! - the rider exclaimed in surprise and galloped off.
