The theme given here is that it is always easy to suggest others but difficult to follow them yourselves which means that it is very easy to speak on the things done by others but difficult to do those things yourself when you have to do them.
Explanation:
There was a man who owned a small farm. For working on that farm he had employed two boys. The man used to come in the mornings to only suggest what the boys had to do through out the day and he himself used to sit in the shade and used to sleep. He never used to work on his own. By the evening time when the boys used to finish the work, the man never used to appreciate them for their efforts and used to pay them very less wage saying that this work is very easy to do.
One day, one of the boys fell ill. So the man had to do the work of that boy on the field. When the man himself started working, he was sweating a lot, was working with great difficulty, got tired in the scorching heat and ultimately fainted. When he got up, he realized that it was very easy to simply give orders and very tough to actually follow them.
