There is a tale about King Matthias that once he collected the three most laziest persons in the whole country and made them live in a room and these three did not have any work to do the whole day. In today’s world the king Matthias will find more than three such people, but then there were only three.
Once fire broke out in the house where the three lazy were living: when already the fire had reached above their head, one of them said:
- Perhaps we must go away from here?
The second wasting some more time replies:
- If the king needs us he will take us away from here.
Finally the third one said this:
- Are you people not ashamed to talk?
And all three of them were burnt alive there.
From here originates the saying for a very lazy person it is said:
“He is also one of the King Matthias’s lazy men”
