Procrastination Day

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a holiday that was celebrated with great pomp and show. It was called "National Procrastination Day."


The holiday was celebrated on the third Monday of every month, and it was a day when people could put off all their work and responsibilities and indulge in their favorite activities. It was a day when the entire country came to a standstill as people relaxed, watched TV, slept in, and did absolutely nothing.


The origin of National Procrastination Day was shrouded in mystery, but it was said that it was started by a wise old man who lived in the mountains. Legend had it that the old man was tired of people working too hard and never taking a break, so he declared the third Monday of every month a day of rest.


Over time, the holiday gained popularity and became an official holiday in the country. People eagerly awaited the arrival of National Procrastination Day, and made elaborate plans to celebrate it.


The day before National Procrastination Day was always filled with excitement and anticipation. People would rush to finish all their work and responsibilities so that they could have a day off. Offices and schools would shut down early, and stores would have special sales and discounts for the occasion.


On the day itself, the streets were empty, and the only sound was the occasional snore from a sleeping person. The television networks would air special programs for National Procrastination Day, and people would spend hours on their couches, watching movies and eating junk food.


However, not everyone was happy about National Procrastination Day. Some people believed that it was a waste of time and that people should be productive and responsible. They formed a group called "The Anti-Procrastination League" and protested against the holiday.


The protests were initially ignored, but they gained momentum as more and more people joined the cause. The leader of the Anti-Procrastination League was a young man named Tom, who was determined to put an end to the holiday.


Tom was a hardworking and ambitious person who believed that success was achieved through hard work and determination. He felt that National Procrastination Day was encouraging laziness and was a threat to the progress of the country.


Tom and his followers organized a march on National Procrastination Day, and they marched through the empty streets, carrying banners and shouting slogans against the holiday. They were determined to make their voices heard and to put an end to National Procrastination Day.


As they marched, they came across a group of people who were sitting on the sidewalk, eating popcorn and watching a movie on a laptop. Tom was furious, and he confronted the group.


"What are you doing? Don't you know that this holiday is a threat to our progress? We should be working and achieving our goals, not sitting around and doing nothing!" Tom shouted.


One of the people in the group, a young woman named Sarah, stood up and faced Tom. "You don't understand. National Procrastination Day is important to us. It's a day when we can relax and recharge our batteries. We work hard every day, and we deserve a break once in a while."


Tom was not convinced. He believed that hard work was the key to success, and he was determined to put an end to National Procrastination Day. He called for more protests and vowed to continue the fight until the holiday was abolished.


As Tom and his followers marched away, Sarah and her friends continued to enjoy their movie, unfazed by the protests. They knew that National Procrastination Day was a special day, and they were determined to celebrate it every month, no matter what.


And so, National Procrastination Day continued to be celebrated in the country, with some people embracing it as a much as to stretch the day into weeks. Tom and his follower’s cry’s were drowned out by the majority, and no one since has dared to talk out against it. Or if the planned to, they planned to do it next month.
