There is always a lazier way!

At eight years old Lucy has her own view on life: why tire yourself out doing something, when you can find a lazier way? Lucy redoubles her energy to work out original and amusing solutions: from the room which tidies itself, to the dance for planting strawberries, she proves that she has more than one trick up her sleeve!
