The Vacation
Although Mimi and Elise were twins, their attitude toward
life couldn't have been more different They believed that they
were lucky to have parents who were easygoing They often
took advantage of their parents without realizing the
consequences of their actions. Finally, things went downhill
when they received poor grades Their parents made it clear
that if they did not improve in the next term, their trip to the
Bahamas would be cancelled Left with no choice. Mimi
began completing her assignments on time On most days,
she stayed up late at night to compensate for the time lost
over the past few months. She knew that she would have to
refrain from late night parties and weekend movies if she
wanted to keep up with her friends in class On the other
hand, Elise did not understand the seriousness of her
parents' warning She barely managed to finish her
assignments and made no effort to study for the final term,
believing that she could manage at the last minute. When the
results of the final term were out, Mimi was thrilled to see that
she had scored As and Bs in all her subjects Elise had barely
managed to scrape through, and her parents were
disappointed
The next two weeks were horrible for Elise She stayed
back home with her granny, studying day and night to
complete her assignments. She envied Mimi who was having
a great vacation at the Bahamas, and she wished that she
had heeded her parents' warningWhich action contributes to the theme "success requires a few sacrifices and hard work"?
