Mending the Fold After Losing Sheep｜亡羊补牢

原著出处｜战国策·楚策 Have you ever regretted something Thinking if you had made a different choice would the result be different Once there was a shepherd He raised a flock of white and plump sheep Every day he drove the flock to the hillside to graze In the evening he drove them back to the sheepfold One morning he found a hole in the sheepfold A neighbor saw it and said Fix the hole quickly Otherwise the wolf will get in and take the sheep The shepherd looked at the hole He thought the hole was so small how could a wolf get in So he waved his hand and said The sheep are all fine Why fix the hole It's a waste of time The next morning the shepherd came to the sheepfold He found one sheep missing There were wolf footprints on the ground The hole had been torn wider The neighbor sighed and said I told you to fix it yesterday You didn't listen Now you regret it don't you The shepherd hung his head He felt sad and regretful He thought is it still useful to fix it now The sheep is already gone But then he thought if I don't fix it the remaining sheep will be taken by the wolf too So he picked up wood and rope He firmly patched the hole in the sheepfold He even strengthened the whole sheepfold From then on his sheep were never lost again Later people used mending the fold after losing sheep to mean fixing a problem in time is not too late The sheep is already gone But if you fix it in time the remaining sheep can still be saved Life is the same way Making mistakes is not terrible What's terrible is knowing you're wrong but not correcting it前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
