[LM_NET] GEN: Story Title recommendation

[Diane Mustin <GotToCall@AOL.COM>]

I am looking for either a book, short story or fable about the consequences  
of procrastination and avoidance.  A teacher has asked me to recommend  a 
title to have her student read and discuss with her.  The  student is a senior in 
high school, new to the school district last  year and is an average reader.  
She is having a lot of trouble  following through with assignments and the 
teacher is looking for some kind of  story to promote discussion of the issue.  
She said it could even be a  children's book and preferably something not too 
long, since she doesn't know  how many more weeks she will have this student.  
So I am hoping that  someone out there has an "ah ha" moment and remembers a 
young adult title,  short story, or children's book that would do the trick?  
As always,  thank you for your help!
