'''''Mr. Lazy''''' is the seventeenth book in the ''[[Mr. Men]]'' series by [[Roger Hargreaves]]. |
|||
==Story== |
|||
Mr. Lazy is lazy, he lives in Sleepyland, where there are only four hours a day, as opposed to 24, and it takes two regular hours for water to boil and three regular hours for bread to toast. One day, Mr. Lazy sits down for a nap, and is awoken by Mr. Busy and Mr. Bustle. They overwork him, until Mr. Bustle blows a whistle, requiring Mr. Lazy to run as fast as he can. Mr. Lazy runs, but his legs don't get him anywhere because he is sitting on a chair in the garden. He wakes up to realize it was all a dream, and the whistle was the kettle boiling in the kitchen. He sits down to have breakfast, and the dream really happens. |
|||
In the 2008 TV series ''[[The Mr. Men Show]]'', his color is changed to green, his shape changes into a more angular, slouched over shape and his hat turns into a red [[newsboy cap|newsboy-style cap]] that covers his eyes. He also wears socks and flip flops. He lives in a camper-style trailer, with the garbage cans and mailbox overfilled with trash and mail, respectively. In the UK version, he has a [[Cockney]] accent. In the US and UK Verisons, he is voiced by [[Phil Lollar]] and [[Tim Whitnall]]. |
