原来羊圈破了个窟窿，夜间有狼从窟窿里钻了进来，

bǎ yī zhī yánɡ diāo zǒu le.

把一只羊叼走了。

One morning the herder went to graze the sheep and found that one sheep was gone. There was a hole on the sheepfold and a wolf must have slipped in and grabbed the sheep.

He didn’t follow the advice and only said:” since the sheep is already lost, why bother mending the fold?”

措施。于是，他赶紧堵上那个窟窿，又从整体进行加

ɡù ，bǎ yánɡ juàn xiū dé láo láo shí shí de .

固，把羊圈修得牢牢实实的。

The next morning, he found a sheep was lost again. It was again grabbed by a wolf that came in through the hole. The herder was very regretful that he didn’t follow the neighbor’s advice to mend the fold in time. So he fixed the hole and reinforced the fold.

cónɡ cǐ ，zhè ɡè mù mín de yánɡ jiù zài yě méi yǒu bèi yě lánɡ diāo zǒu ɡuò le.

从此，这个牧民的羊就再也没有被野狼叼走过了。

牧民的故事告诉我们：犯了错误，遭到挫折，这是常

jiàn de xiàn xiànɡ 。zhī yào nénɡ rèn zhēn xī qǔ jiào xùn ，jí shí cǎi qǔ bǔ jiù cuò shī ，

见的现象。只要能认真吸取教训，及时采取补救措施，

jiù kě yǐ bì miǎn jì xù fàn cuò wù ，zāo shòu ɡènɡ dà de sǔn shī 。

就可以避免继续犯错误，遭受更大的损失。

From then on, no sheep was lost ever again. This story tells us that it is quite usual to make mistakes or encounter difficulties, but as long as we learn from the experience and take measures in time, we can avoid making the same mistakes or suffering more losses.
