--explanation--

One can be used to avoid repeating a noun that was just mentioned. For example:

She has a red car and I have a blue one. – This means she has a red car and you have a blue car (without repeating car).

Here, instead of saying a tough lesson and then repeating lesson, Lisa says a tough lesson and then a valuable one.
