A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.

        People use to say a lot of proverbs and sayings. These sometimes can occur in our lives. Let's go back to one specific moment in the past. A moment when I learned that " a stitch in time saves nine," is true. That happened when I was a teenager and I wanted to go out with my friends because they used to do it.

        One of my problems was that I am an only child, and my mother had always been overprotecting me, so she refused the idea of letting me to go out late at night. One day, one of the friends of mine had an idea. On those days, the sea used to have high tide, and they wanted to pass the night at the beach. Nonetheless, I was not sure about it, but my friends had already made their decision.

        I asked my mother for permission, but she denied it. She told me, " the high tide is not a joke, many things could happen." So, I could not go with my friends because of the piece of advice that she gave me at the end, "it is for your own good, a stitch in time saves nine," she said. That night, I stayed at home, but I could not sleep. Suddenly, a storm appeared, and it was then when I realized that my friends could have some problems where they were at that moment. " it was high tide when the storm hit," one of my friends said, "we just barely moved off before something worse happened, we were very lucky," he added.

        In conclusion, I thought that I was safe because of the piece of advice that my mother gave me. I was the kind of person that did not believe in sayings and proverbs. However, since then I prefer to avoid decissions that can lead me to an unexpected situation.
