The Boy and the Broken Fence

Once upon a time a young boy owned a large herd of one hundred sheep.Each day he counted his sheep to see if any were missing, and he always counted a hundred sheep. But one bright morning, he counted his sheep to find that one was missing.He counted again. He counted a third time.No doubt, there were only ninety-nine sheep. He looked everywhere for the lost sheep, but the sheep was nowhere to be found.So the boy went home.The next day, another sheep was missing. Once again, the boy couldn't find the sheep.So the boy went home, feeling sorry for himself. On the third day, another sheep was missing.Only ninety-seven were left. At last, the boy couldn't take anymore. He walked around the field twice looking for it and discovered a hole in his fence big enough for a sheep to crawl through,which he immediately repaired.The End.

Moral:1.If there's a problem, fix it.2.if there's a problem, find out what caused it to happen.3.It's never to late to fix a problem.
