I wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’re vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
-William Wordsworth

One autumn, my sister and I made a blunder. She was ten and I was sixteen. We planned to really enjoy our holiday because we were together but away from home. Our excitement lasted till the end of our journey and taught us an important lesson.

We felt very excited and grown up as we were on the way to the home town of our grandparents in a cart. Fresh and cool breeze touched our body and our soul. When we reached the lodge, we were disappointed. Although it was expensive, it was not clean and well furnished. It had a tin roof. The room where we were going to spend our night was small. I did not find it cozy. In spite of a small window that was facing towards the North, the room was not as airy as we expected. Both of us disliked it. We asked our granny “Is there any hotel? We like to stay somewhere else, but not here.” When we asked about another option, our grandfather replied, “No, there is not any guest house or hotel nearby.” Their reply annoyed us but we could not make any further request further. After we unpacked our suitcases, our grandmother warned us not to go outside till their return. “We won’t,” my sister promised, but I knew that she was telling a lie. We had already decided to go out.
