Laziness never pays off.

Let me tell you a story about young girl and her ponies.

It was dark evening of a very cold day. Snow has been falling down for days and everything around was white. When Haruka got home it was just time for evening meal so she undressed quickly and washed her hands.

Once the warmness of the room reached every inch of her body she felt good and sleepy. She meant to go out and feed her ponies but when she finished eating getting dressed and going out into full of snow paddock was the last thing she wanted to do.

She crawled to bed promising herself that she will feed them first thing in the morning, before her uncle would even wake up.

But again, it was so good in a warm bed that it was uncle that woke her up, eventually, after midday. And he was less that happy.

Ponies were hungry and miserable and were behaving unusually aggressively for them. Once Haruka saw them she felt very guilty, and when uncle asked her she admitted the truth straight away. She was too lazy yesterday to think about the well being of her pets she was trusted with. She didn't take care about her little friends.

She hardly opposed when her uncle made her get dressed into school uniform and pushed her outside without the coat to feed them. 'They were cold and hungry whole night, you can suffer a little bit of discomfort yourself', her uncle told her when she walked through the garden shivering.


Feeling awfully cold and sorry for herself she quickly fed ponies and briefly stroked them longing to get inside. But that was not the end of punishment.


Her uncle was determined to show her how irresponsible her behaviour really was. She made her bent over and applied a painfully stingy dozen to her young and cold bottom.


Each stroke made her squeak and whisper sincere apologies.


She knew she will never treat her ponies like that. Never.

(Next time, someone will ask me whether I want to do some photography in snow and I'm going to run. Far way. I was SO frozen afterwards! But HH was so into that idea, I could hardly refuse ;) )
