A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.

 

Once upon a time, in a bustling village, there lived a diligent little squirrel named Sammy. Sammy loved collecting nuts for the winter and was always busy gathering them. One sunny day, while Sammy was happily collecting nuts, he noticed a small tear in his favorite nut sack. Instead of fixing it right away, he ignored it, thinking it was just a minor issue.

Days passed, and Sammy continued his routine without paying attention to the tear. However, as the days went by, the tear grew bigger until one day, it burst open, and all the nuts Sammy had gathered spilled out, rolling away in every direction.

Realizing his mistake, Sammy felt devastated. He had to start collecting nuts all over again, which meant he would have less food for the winter. Feeling regretful, Sammy learned the importance of addressing small problems before they become big ones.

From that day on, whenever Sammy noticed even the slightest issue, he took immediate action to fix it. He became known as the wisest squirrel in the village, teaching others the valuable lesson that "a stitch in time saves nine." And as winter approached, Sammy had an abundance of nuts, all thanks to his proactive approach to problem-solving.

The moral of the story is: "Don't ignore small problems, for they can grow into bigger ones. A little effort now can save a lot of trouble later."
