II. A Hill Station: In the last summer, I enjoyed a tour to a hill station at Shimla. I was accompanied by my five friends and enjoyed the natural beauties of mountains, rivers, streams, forests etc. The beginning of the tour was the most adventurous itself! How amazingly my group win the bet! Actually, the story is that my two friends along with me prefered train to go to Shimla, but other three were forcing for a car or a bus. At last the consensus was reached and we were divided ourselves in two groups of 3 each and started for Shimla at the same time. It was decided that the group who reach the destination first, would be declared as the winner, and runner up the group have to bear the expanses of the tour. I named my group, ‘Group A’ while the second group was named as ‘Group B’. Luckily we reached Shimla 1 hour before the Group-B and enjoyed the trip for absolutely FREE!! How thrilling it was the tour!
