亡羊补牢

Once upon a time， there was a shepherd who kept several sheep.

One morning， the shepherd discovered that one of his sheep was missing. It turned out that， during the night， a wolf had stolen his sheep through a hole in the sheep pen.

His neighbor suggested to him， “You should fix the pen and cover the hole right away.”

But the shepherd said， “The sheep is already lost， so I dont need to repair it.” And so he rejected the neighbors suggestion.

The next morning， he discovered that another sheep was missing. Once again， the wolf stole the sheep through the hole in the fence.

The shepherd regretted not taking the neighbors advice. So he plugged the hole to secure the sheep pen.

From then on， no more sheep was stolen by the wolf.

從前，有个人养了几只羊。

一天早上，他发现少了一只羊。原来羊圈破了个窟窿，夜里狼从窟窿钻进去，把羊叼走了。

邻居劝他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上窟窿吧！”

但是，他却说：“羊已经丢了，还修羊圈干什么？”因而他没有听从邻居的劝告。

第二天早上，他发现羊又少了一只。原来，狼又从窟窿钻进去，叼走了一只羊。

他很后悔没有听从邻居的劝告。于是，他堵上了那个窟窿，把羊圈修得结结实实的。

从此，他的羊再没有被狼叼走了。
