and reading the books. He also didn’t like to work. But he liked to play games and eat the sweets. Tom spent a lot of time playing with his friends. The boy never listened to his parents or helped them. He was very naughty boy.

      One day Tom was going after school, his best friend and classmate Tim came and said.

      “Let’s go to the Lazyland! It’s very funny city. I am so tired of these lessons!”

      Tom was surprised. He asked, “What is it?”

      “It is a place where we can have fun and nothing to do! No teachers, no parents! It’s great, isn’t it?”

      Tom had never heard about the Lazyland before. But he liked the idea.

      “Let’s go!” he said.

      ***

      Two friends came to the station. There were many boys around. They talked to each other and the platform was too noisy. The man in dark blue uniform, who stood near the

      cross line to the train asked every boy some questions before they got in. He wrote something in his list. Tom and Tim stood in line waiting for their turn.

      When it came to Tom, the guardian asked, “What is your name lazy boy?”

      “My name is Tom!”

      “Do you want to go to the Lazyland?”

      “Yes, I do”.

      “I must tell you something. Nobody ever comes back from there. You are going to stay there forever. Do you still want to go to the Lazyland?”

      Tom thought. Then he said, “Yes, I do”.

      And the man in uniform made some note in his list and said, “Welcome! You can come into the train. Here is your ticket”.

      “Lazyland” huge green train stood on the railways and waited for moving. Tom was happy. He would never go to school anymore and never do his homework again.

      As soon as the train was full, it moved away from the station. They went away and went away far from Tom’s house and school. The boy could see beautiful landscapes, forests, green fields and farms looking at the windows.

      While they were sitting inside the transport, Tim told everyone what great city Lazyland was because he heard it from his classmates. Every boy opened their eyes and mouths listening to the story.

      After two hours Tom finally saw the city in the window.

      The Lazyland was fantastic city. It didn’t look like Tom’s real city, it was quite different. Candy Castle, Carousel Park and big Games field and many other places were located that you could only dream about. Tom was totally speechless.

      The train stopped at the end station. Even the station was unique. The big colorful Lollipop was decorated by the words “Welcome to Lazyland!” and “Enter”. The hundred boys came out.

      The guardian stood in front of the guests as the guide did in the museum standing in front of people. He raised his hands and asked boys to keep silence.

      “Welcome to the Lazyland! I am glad to see everyone of you. This city was created for lazy boys. For good things or for bad things, you should decide spending time here. We have got many interesting places to visit. The plan of their location you can find on the right board. You can do anything! Have fun and good time!” The man finished his speech and all boys ran to the different ways.

      ***

      At first, Tom and Tim went to the Candy Castle. The shop windows were full of hundred types of ice creams, candies, chocolates and thousands of sweets. There were no sellers inside. If you wanted to eat the sweets, you could just take it and go. Tom took five ice-creams, three bars of chocolate and two apple cakes.

      “Look at this!” Tim showed a huge purple toy elephant. You could ride it and go around the city. The boys ate all sweets and ran to that big toy.

      It was wonderful day. Tom did nothing but played a lot of games, ate delicious food and rode a bike till the night.

      “Wow! Are you new? Hi, new lazy boys! I am Adeo!”

      Tom saw tall boy behind his back. He was wearing white shirt and black pants. He smiled and shook the boys’ hands. He seemed very nice person.

      “You are welcome!” Adeo said.

      “Yes, thank you! I am Tom! This is Tim. It is an amazing place! It’s much better than school and books”.

      “Yes, but it seems for the beginning, dear friend! I thought the same when I came here for the first time. I wish to read even one book.”

      Suddenly, his happy face turned into sad.

      “Why?” Tom was surprised. He couldn’t imagine that someone didn’t like such wonderful place.

      “Someday you will understand. But now, have a good time here! If you will need a help one day, you can find me on the

      Motorbike racing. Don’t forget to visit Fantasy field. Good luck!”

      And Adeo turned back and disappeared.

      Tom didn't catch what he meant by saying that. But he didn’t want to think about sad things, he wanted to enjoy in Lazyland.

      ***

      Tom and Tim visited almost all places in the city: Candy Castle, Carousel Park, Park, Bike Racing and fantastic Game Field. The last one had got a lot of people all the time. Tom had to stand in line and wait for his turn. He even met a red horse when walking around the city. Tom tried to ride it, but the animal was too angry, so the boy changed his mind. Tom also found his new friends Avis, Leo and Din.

      Avis was a very smart and clever boy with big glasses in black frame. He didn’t talk much and he did look more like a good boy but not as lazy person. Tom surprised that Avis was there.

      “I like to read only interesting books such science, history and philosophy. I have got the huge library in my house. So I don’t want to study because school subjects, especially books are boring!” he explained his presence in Lazyland.

      Leo was tall boy with black hair and brown eyes. He liked to play sport and also like Avis, he didn’t look as naughty boy.

      “I do my sports and I prefer to spend much time playing and running which is bad for school!” But he was fair and someone who always helped you in any situation of life.

      Finally, Din was the naughtiest person that Tom had ever seen in his short life. He liked to get in troubles and planned some stuff for the little boys.

      “I am not afraid of anything. If you have got imagination you can solve any problems. There is always the way!” he smiled and laughed.

      In the evening they saw the man in dark blue uniform -Tom had seen him near the train. He showed all guests the place for sleeping. Huge building with forty floors and plenty rooms inside. One room had got five beds and wardrobes. Tom, Tim, Avis, Leo and Din decided to live in one room together. They chose the fifth floor, room’s number fifty.

      “So, Tom! You didn’t tell how you did get here.” Din was curious and looked at Tom.

      Tom started to repack his bag and the others did.

      “Well, nothing special. I don’t like school at all. I prefer to study the space, moon and other things. Astronomy is more interesting for me.”

      “Wow! Call me when you will be on the moon!” Din smiled.

      Chapter 2. Bike competition
