Mary had never travelled outside her small town. But all that changed when she met Kate. Kate was much older than Mary. However, since they both travelled in the same bus to work every day, they became good friends. One day, Kate said, “Mary, I’m going to visit my cousin in Scotland. Would you like to come with me?” Mary was thrilled, as she had always wanted to visit Scotland. But at the same time, she was terrified! Kate let her think about it for a week, and then said, “Mary, you should not let your fear rule your life. Take every opportunity as an adventure and you will always enjoy what you do. If you are always too scared to take a chance, you will always regret missing out on life’s experiences.” Mary realised that Kate was right. She thanked her for being such a good friend, and began packing for the greatest adventure of her life.
