About this listen

Once upon a time, there lived a farmer in a small village. He had three sons named Gregor, Marcos, and Cylus. Gregor and Marcos were very good merchants while Cylus was a lazy and foolish person, according to everyone in his family. While Gregor and Marcos used to go out for business, Cylus used to stay at home, most of the time sleeping in a warm bed.

One fine, sunny day in winter, while Cylus was sleeping, his sister-in-law, Suzan, asked him to go fetch some water from the nearby river. Cylus shouted, "I am not supposed to bring water. That's not my work." But, Suzan persuaded him by promising him a brand new red blazer and hat. Cylus immediately jumped off his bed, took two buckets, and went to the river. Due to the winter season, the river was completely frozen.
