亡羊补牢

一yī个人gè rén养yǎng了liǎo很hěn多duō羊yáng。一yī天tiān早上zǎo shang，他tā发现fā xiàn羊yáng圈juàn破pò了liǎo一yī个gè洞dòng，少shǎo了liǎo一yī只zhī羊yáng。

A man kept many sheep. One morning he found a hole in the pen and one sheep missing.

邻居lín jū告诉gào su他tā：快kuài把bǎ洞dòng补bǔ好hào吧ba！他tā说shuō：羊yáng已经yǐ jīng丢dīu了liǎo，还huán补bǔ什么shén me？

A neighbor told him: fix the hole, quick! He said: the sheep is already lost, why bother?

第dì二èr天tiān，狼láng又yòu从cóng洞dòng里lǐ进来jìn lái，又yòu叼diāo走zǒu一yī只zhī羊yáng。

The next day the wolf came through the hole again and took another sheep.

他tā后悔hòu huǐ了liǎo，马上mǎ shàng把bǎ洞dòng补bǔ好hào。从此cóng cǐ，他tā的de羊yáng再也zài yě没有méi yǒu丢dīu过guo。

He regretted it and mended the hole at once. From then on he never lost another sheep.

发现fā xiàn问题wèn tí以后yǐ hòu，马上mǎ shàng改正gǎi zhèng，还huán不算bù suàn晚wǎn。

Once you spot a problem, fixing it right away is not too late.
