A story about proverb "It's no use crying over spilt milk."


Write a story which explains the proverb, "It's no use crying over spilt milk."
 
It was 5 o'clock in the evening. George told his mother that he was going to the library to study with Thomas. His mother smiled and told him not to be too late. She was happy that George was studying with Thomas instead of loitering and wasting time with his other friends. She had frequently advised Thomas to stay away from Scotty, Man and Derek. Maybe, he was going to be all right after all, she thought.

What she did not know was that George had actually lied to her. Instead of going to the library, George went to the Sinaran Shopping Complex to meet Scotty, Man and Derek. They went for a movie and played some video games later. Scotty owned a car. His father was one of the richest businessmen in town.

After loitering for three hours at the shopping complex, they drove around town disturbing people and throwing candy wrappers at unsuspecting pedestrians.

It was about eleven at night when they left the city lights behind. Scotty continued to drive recklessly. Many a time he overtook at sharp bends. Twice they missed oncoming cars by mere inches. After all these near misses, they would laugh loudly. They thought it was fun.

Then, suddenly a lorry pulled out from the side of the road. Scotty who was going very fast stepped on the brakes. All of them screamed as the car screeched and crashed right into the lorry. The last thing George could remember was hearing voices which seemed strange and faraway.

Meanwhile, his parents were getting worried. George's mother telephoned Thomas's place and was shocked to hear that Thomas had not even seen George at the library. George's mother decided to call the police. Half an hour later, they informed her about the accident. George's parents rushed to the hospital where the doctors informed them that apart from a fractured leg, George was all right.

However, they were not sure whether he would be able to walk normally again.
It took George three months and a series of operations to recover but he now walked with a permanent limp. George regretted his action but had to go on living despite a handicap. He lost his friend, Derek in the accident. Scotty was still in coma and Man still has nightmares of the accident.

George regrets not listening to his mother. However, he knows that it is no use crying over spilt milk. It would be better to make the best of the situation instead.
