Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The Cloud Life of the Lazy Couple

As the King and his entire army fell into a slumber of laziness in the forest, our hero and Princess Laila realized that their lives were about to become even more peaceful. The hero placed his magical pillow right in the center of the cloud, and Laila put on her magical glasses. Together, they decided to travel the world from atop this cloud, but without any effort. The hero lazily told the donkey, "O magical donkey, you've walked enough. Now you, too, lie down in a corner of this cloud. The gusts of wind will take us to our destination."

​The donkey, too, happily lay down on the cloud. The cloud began to drift slowly over the mountains. On the way, they saw a massive storm approaching. Ordinary people would have trembled in fear, but our lazy couple thought the storm was a good thing, as increased wind speed meant the cloud would move faster without them having to try to return. Laila looked up at the sky through her magical glasses and saw the raindrops falling as sweet as syrup. She told the hero, "Look, nature also knows we don't like to move, so it's delivering drinks right to our mouths." The two of them lay on the cloud, tasting the sweet rain. Seeing their strange tranquility, even the clouds in the sky seemed to pause. The hero realized that laziness isn't just about not working; it's an art of blending into a strange peace with the world.
