Better late than never

A man has many sheep. He build a big fence to keep the sheep.

One day morning, he finds that a sheep is lost, and there is a hole on the fence.

His neighbor says: “ It must be the wolf eats the sheep. You’d better fix the fence now.”

The man shakes his head and says: “ The sheep is already lost. There is no need to fix the fence.”

The next morning, he finds that another sheep is lost. He regrets so much and fixes the fence immediately .

Ever since then, his sheep are never lost again.
