Once upon a time there was a herdsman, have dozens of sheep, daytime grazing, evening drive in a use firewood and pile thing such as in the fields of enclosed within.
One morning, the herdsmen to sheep sheep, and found that one was missing. Originally the pen broke a hole, a Wolf at night from the hole drilling in, a sheep diao away.
Neighbors advice he said: "hurry up the pen repaired, plug the hole in it."
He said: "the sheep had been lost, but also to repair the pen do?" Didn't accept the neighbor's good advice.
The next morning, he went to the sheep, found little a sheep. The original Wolf and from the hole drilling the pen, and away and a sheep.
The herdsmen regret not recognize directly subject to the neighbor's advice, to take timely remedial measures. So, he hurriedly up the hole, and from the whole to reinforce the sheepfold, mend in firmly.
From then on, the nomads sheep will never be the Wolf walked in.
Pastoralists story tells us: made a mistake, a setback, this is a common phenomenon. As long as it can seriously draw lessons, and take remedial measures in time, can avoid to continue to make mistakes, suffer greater losses.
