A Trip to a Village
Last year, three friends of mine decided to spend a holiday in the mountains. They set off by car
early in the morning. By the late afternoon they had almost reached the village where they were
going to stay. They had a quick cup of tea at a wayside café. They set off again along the winding
road that led to the mountains. They had a map with them. According to the map, the village
they were going to stay in was only about fifteen miles away.
It got dark and it began to rain too. This made it more difficult to see the road clearly. After they
had driven for about fifteen miles, there was still no sign of the village. Obviously, the map they
had was not a very good one.
They went on for another five miles and then the car suddenly stopped. At first, my friend
thought that they had run out of petrol but, on examination, they found that this was not the
problem. Something else was wrong with the car. Since they could not start it again, they
decided to spend the night in the car. They had very little food with them and there was not
much room for three people.
Early in the morning, a car came along the road. They stopped the driver and asked him where
the village was. He told them that it was just on the other side of the hill. They tied their car to
his car and he pulled them to the top of the hill. After that their car ran all the way downhill to
the village. They found a hotel and had a good breakfast. Of course, if they had walked up the
hill the night before, they would not have had to spend an uncomfortable night in the car.

The Importance of Discipline in Our Life
Discipline is one of the most important qualities in life. It means following rules, staying organized, and
doing things on time. Discipline helps us build good habits and keeps us focused on our goals. A
disciplined person is respected by others and achieves success more easily.
In our daily life, discipline is needed everywhere. In school, students must follow rules to learn properly.
At home, discipline helps us manage our time and responsibilities. In society, people must follow laws to
maintain peace and order.
Without discipline, life becomes difficult and confusing. People who are lazy and careless often face
problems and failures. On the other hand, discipline teaches us self-control and patience.
Discipline is the key to a happy and successful life. If we practice discipline from a young age, it becomes
part of our character and helps us throughout our life.
