Slide 2 : Once upon a time there was a guy named Pete. He wouldn’t ever do any work. Pete could be very lazy when he wanted to. He knew he should work and that he might have been really rich if he did. But he didn't like to put in the time and effort. He liked to SLEEP all day...and then party all night.
So, during the day he would just sleep in his hammock under a pear tree. While he was sleeping in his hammock he would dream about FOOD because he liked to eat. He liked to eat and could eat a lot. When the food was good, Pete would PIG OUT.
He especially liked to eat fried CHICKEN and mashed potatoes. But he wasn’t picky. He would eat just about anything he could get his hands on. But since he wouldn’t work, his pantry was EMPTY most of the time.
So, he would mooch off his relatives and neighbors. Pete would visit them around a mealtime HOPING for something good to eat. He would usually just hint around that he was hoping for a bite to eat. But if they would pretend not to notice, he would just go ahead and invite himself.
They all knew that Pete could be a really lazy bum. So, they would put their food away when they saw Pete coming over. If that happened, he would ask to borrow money. But he would never PAY any of them back.
And if they wouldn’t PROVIDE him with food or money, he would just go out and steal something from them. They couldn’t put up with Pete’s behavior any longer. So, one day when they caught him stealing some pigs, they decided they should call the sheriff and send him to jail.
