And there's a famous saying that always travel on routes which are popular and favoured by travellers." He said "You are indeed stupid. You are taking poets and story tellers to be wise men and you are content to 10110w in their foot steps. The path that I am pointing out is obviously shorter. And it is also possible that the people who chose the longer route had enough provision with them or had some means of conveyance.

It is possible that they wanted to avoid that tunnel at the mouth of the chord, or maybe their mount could not pass through it. So tell me, why shouldn't the two of us take the short-cut?" Here I committed the mistake of falling or what he said, mistaking him to be a well wisher. We left the main road and took to the short-cut. But it was not at all easy going here were deep ditches full of rubbish.

The path was strewn with needle like thorns and we often came across snakes and scorpions As soon as we would cross one ravine, we would reach another. It was so hot that my tongue was literally hanging out with thirst, My feet were also injured and bleeding. I was feeling afraid right down to the core of my heart. My companion seemed to be enjoying my plight. He was joking and laughing at me.

We travelled for what seemed to be ages and when at last we reached the highway again we had covered at least 10 Km, Each step had been an ordeal and I was dead tired, I had developed complete hatred for my twin and I told him so WI wish we had never met. I would be happier if we were as tar apart as the two poles". But he kept waiting for me whilst I sat down to rest. A bit rested, I got up to resume my journey and he again started following me.

Suddenly I spotted some greenery about one fourth kilometre away from the highway. Seeing. his chance, ignorance again assaulted me. He came running to me and said, "Hey do you see the greenery over there? There's sure to be water there too. And you really are so thirsty. Let's go and have a look. Maybe we'll find a fresh water spring and you can get a cool drink.

When we come back we'll resume our journey." I can sincerely say that I did not want to obey him; but I was tired and thirsty and I knew that greenery was not possible without water (When man has to confront the consequences of his actions, he wishes he had never committed them. But this repentance is often not serious enough to stop him from again falling in for temptations and desires.) So I again felt in his trap.
