       Are you a lazybones (懒骨头) ？If you are,get everything ready because you have to treat your friends to sweets or cakes on Lazybones’ Day.

       In Holland,Lazybones’ Day is the day for lazy children. It is about seven weeks after Easter (复活节) .

       Early in the morning on Lazybones’ Day,children walk through the streets. They laugh,shout,and bang (敲击) on plates and bowls to make as much noise as they can. They ring the doorbell or knock at the door when they pass a house. If they find a boy or a girl sleeping,they will shout loudly, “Lazybones,lazybones!” They try their best to wake up the lazybones. Then the poor lazybones has to take out lazybones cakes. The children help themselves to the cakes and then they go back to the street to find another lazybones. The first lazybones,of course,joins them and shouts as loudly as he or she can.

       When everyone is woken up,people go to the markets. There are a lot of interesting things to see. But children are most interested in the animals. The animals have all been trained. They can play many games. The children eat bread,ice cream and lazybones cakes a^s they enjoy the games.

       Lazybones’ Day started long ago because of a man named Piet Lak. There was once a war between Holland and its neighboring country. Piet Lak was a watchman (哨兵) then,but he fell asleep while enemies marched (行进) through Holland. After that people called him Lazy Lak,and they remembered the day as Lazybones’ Day.

       Now children celebrate Lazybones^’ Day for fun.
