We All Make Mistakes

Anoushka Patwardhan, Class X E

“We all make mistakes, don’t we?” said Theo.
“Yeah, we do. But the impact of our mistakes have to be borne by us. We have to face the consequences Theo.” Exclaimed Lydia, “You could have done better. Our entire batch is going to be a sophomore now and here you are, still a junior. I don’t think we can be friends anymore.”
Theo looked at his books with a wistful eye and said, “I am sorry that I procrastinated when I should have been studying. I have learnt my lesson. I will not let this happen again.”
“Still, it’ll be embarrassing to be seen anywhere near you. I am sorry,” and Lydia walked away.
Many years later…
Theo has become a successful businessman and Lydia approaches him for a job. After overcoming the initial hesitation, Lydia approached Theo and said, “Well, look at you Theo, you are doing great! I am sorry I broke our friendship. Please forgive me. We all make mistakes don’t we?”

Theo smiled at Lydia and said, “Yes, we do. But I am not making a mistake again,” and walked away.
