Answer:
Discretion is the Better Part of Valor.
Explanation:
Sometimes, our foolishness costs us dearly. A foolish act wastes not only our time, but also our energy and money. Hari paid the price for his stupidity, and when asked again, he confessed to having been drugged and conned all his money. I then realized that it is wise to be careful and not show unnecessary bravery.
It all began in the morning as we prepared to go to school when Hari received a call informing him that he had been awarded a scholarship. Hari was to go and study in England; however, he had to go and meet his ‘sponsors’ who had asked him to tag along with his credentials.
He hurriedly left the house, and in no time he was in the streets of Mumbai meeting a stranger. At around one o'clock a van appeared, and Hari joined two men who invited him in. He was then drugged only to find himself at our school backyard without his shoes, laptop, bag, and money. It was then that Hari told us of his sad ordeal with his kidnappers.
Answer:
Explanation:
Sometimes, our foolishness costs us dearly. A foolish act not only wastes our time, but also our energy and money.
Hari paid the price for his stupidity, and when a thief took his bag full of money, he could do nothing but to repent.
Actually, he had won Rs. 15 lakh in a lottery. His father advised him to deposit the amount in the bank, but he wanted to avoid paying taxes and kept the money at home.
One day, a burglary took place at his home, and thieves also took away his bag full of money. If he had deposited it in the bank, they would have been safe now.
