The Story (5 mins)
One of my really good friends has so much potential in life, but he is really lazy. He’s smart and could help a lot of people some day if he could just get up, go out, and start doing something. One day I asked him if he wanted to go for a hike with some of our friends and me. He said that he wasn’t up for it, so he stayed home. It was a beautiful hike and I came hope tired, but happy. My friend asked me how the trip was, so I showed him some of the pictures we took. He told me that he wished he had gone hiking, too. After that day he was no longer lazy and took up hiking as a hobby. These days it’s difficult to get him down from the mountains!
