Fairy tale about two dictionaries

On the third floor of a huge dormitory in the room 210 on a bookshelf lived two young but highly intelligent dictionaries – John and Sean. Despite the fact that they were living on a same bookshelf and looked like two peas in a pod, their lives were completely different. Dictionary John was occupied with work and hardly ever had time to rest, while dictionary Sean was lying on the shelf all day long and no one was even paying attention at him. That was because these two dictionaries had two absolutely different owners. John’s owner was assiduous and hard-working student and Sean’s owner was indescribably lazy boy.

      Every evening dictionary John was telling different stories about his eventful days at work and bragging about his owner. That evening wasn’t an exception.

     Dictionary John was talking non-stop: «My owner excels at languages. He just absorbs all new words and expressions. I can assure you that he will become a reputable interpreter. »

     Dictionary Sean sighed deeply and said: «You are so lucky! My owner is hardly comparable with yours. He doesn’t even think about studying and working with me. I feel so lonely and useless. »

«This boy is heartless. How can he do this to you? » - said John angrily.

«It’s so hard for him to make a commitment » - Sean answered.

«Then we should simplify it for him. We need to make him reflect on his behavior! » - John exclaimed.

«But how can we do this?» - Sean raised his eyebrows in surprise.

«In such circumstances we should act quickly but don’t worry, you can count on me. In fact, I already have a plan.  What if you will be constantly reminding your owner about yourself? » - suggested John.

«So you think we can handle the situation in such way? It seems to me that whatever will we be doing it’s all pointless.»- mumbled Sean.

«Just do me a favour, listen to me and do as I say. We will make him apologetic about his behavior very soon.» - said John.

    Later that evening Sean’s owner was sitting at a table and playing computer games. Two dictionaries were laying on the bookshelf which was right above the table. The time had come for dictionary Sean to remind about his existence. So Sean pushed himself and fell straight on the boy’s head.

«Oh dear! It hurts!» - exclaimed boy, scratched his head, put dictionary back on the shelf and continued playing games.

    The next day boy decided to take a walk in a park instead of going to the university but as soon as he opened a wardrobe to get some clothes, the dictionary fell on his head again. «How this dictionary turned out on the top shelf of my wardrobe??» - the boy shrugged his shoulders and went out of the room. He was out all day and returned home late in evening. Of course, he wasn’t even thinking about doing his homework and began watching a movie. That time dictionary Sean became furious. Sean fell off the shelf and hit boy so hard that he fell off the chair. The boy decided to lie down. He was thinking about inexplicable fallings of his dictionary and soon fell asleep.

   The boy saw a strange dream. In that dream his dictionary was talking to him. «You may think that all my fallings on your head happened coincidentally but I should make a confession. I did it on purpose. I want you to study hard and become an excellent student. If you don’t do it I will fall on you many-many times! » - said his dictionary.

  The boy woke up frightened. That evening he took his dictionary and did all homework not only for the next day but for the whole week.  From that time a noticeable change happened to the boy. He became so hard-working that teachers and students were wondering all the time and his dictionary became the happiest dictionary in the world and never felt lonely and useless again.
