A Stitch in Time Saves Nine - Story


 Once there was a farmer in a village. He was very idle. He had a few plots of land. But he did not plough them well. He did not sow seeds in time. So, he could not raise good crops. As a result, he was always in want of food.

The farmer had a kitchen garden near his house. One day he saw that the fencing round the garden was broken. He said to himself, "I shall repair the fencing tomorrow." But he totally forgot it he next day.

Some days passed by. The farmer did not repair the broken fencing. One day, he sat idle before the house. He saw some goats entering the garden through the broken fence. He called his wife to drive the goats from the garden.

The farmer's wife was cooking inside the kitchen. She came out and ran into the garden to drive away the goats. A dog was waiting outside the kitchen. When the farmer's wife went out, the dog entered the kitchen and spoiled some of the food cooked by her.
