“Lenny ate his dinner and thought quite a lot while he ate it. He knew he was lazy. He knew that he left most of the hard work to his cousins. Now he had lost his pound because he had been too lazy to dig, too lazy to go and get his new spade, too lazy to do anything but lie in the sand and watch the others at work.”
“I’m going off to the shop straight away,′ said Lenny, and he sped off up the beach and on to the front. He went to the shop that sold spades _but he didn’t buy spade.No _he bought a tiny red and blue boat for Karen that cost forty pence.”
