In the Filipino folktale Juan Tamad ( in English it means lazy John or Johnny lazy), a young boy comes upon a guava tree and all the fruit is ripened already, he is so lazy that doesn't want to pick the fruit himself so what he does is he lays underneath he branches where the fruit is falling. When the fruit falls he opens his mouth very wide and the fruit lands in his mouth and he does that till all the fruit is gone. There are many stories that are based off this one like another story is Juan Tamad is instructed by his mother to go to the market and sell the rice cakes that she had just made. On his way to the market he passes a pond with frogs jumping in and out of it, so he feeds the frogs the rice cakes instead of going to the market. When he gets home his mother asks him where's the money then Juan said that the customers paid by credit and they'll pay you next week.

There aren't many archetypes in this particular story but one of the archetypes is The Jester archetype. The Jester has a few other titles but one of the descriptions was that they were prone to laziness. This portrays through Juan Tamad because he is too lazy to grab the guava on the branch of the tree. When his mother gives him the rice cakes to sell at the market and he gives the cakes to the frogs then his mother asks him wheres the money and he says it was paid by credit the archetype would trickster because he lies to mother and makes her think that he sold the rice cakes.

This tale is obviously Filipino but other cultures probably have there versions of this story that they taught to kids to not be lazy. In this story there aren't any mythical creatures or supernatural powers but a human that portrays being lazy is fun until something happens like when Juan tells his mom that the people will pay her back the following week when that week comes I wonder if his mom will discipline him? I already knew that this story is Filipino because the title of the story, the fruit that Juan was eating that grows in the Philippines and I also was told this story to remind me not to be lazy.
