Time and Tide wait
for None
Anthony was a very lazy boy and always used to postpone
things. One day his father tried to make him understand the value of time. He
said one should always do things on time. Anthony promised his father he would
never postpone things.
One day he came to know about the first prize he got in a
singing competition held last month. He was asked to collect the one the same
day. He didn’t care and went to collect the prize the next day. But the prize
became useless for him, as it was a ticket to a circus show, which was held the
previous day.
Anthony learned a lesson from this incident. Can you
guess the lesson Anthony learned at the end?
