A long time ago, there lived a farmer in a remote area. One day, a big flood hit the area and destroyed all of the farmer's properties including his rice field and cattle. The farmer instantly became poor.

    A few days later, an old man came to his house. He gave him a goose and said, "This goose will be useful for you So. keep it well." A week later, the goose laid an egg. Astonishingly, it was a golden egg. It made the farmer happy.

    The goose that laid golden eggs helped the farmer improve his life. However, his newfound fortune made him a sloth and a squanderer.

    The goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer couldn't wait longer, so he killed his goose to look for golden eggs in its stomach. However, he didn't find any. He regretted his folly very much but it was already too late.

"... his newfound fortune made him a sloth ...." (paragraph 3). What does the word "sloth" mean?
