参考译文（二）

Once upon a time there was a man who had a flock of sheep. One morning he was going out to look after them. When he looked closely, he saw a hole in the sheepfold. Apparently a wolf got into the pen during the night and took the sheep. The neighbor advised him to repair the sheep pen, but he wouldn't listen. The next day he found that the wolf had taken another sheep through the saddle. Remembering his neighbor's words, he quickly plugged the hole and mended the sheep pen. After that, his sheep were never taken away by the wolf. The story tells us: a problem timely remedy, can prevent greater losses.
