Once upon a time, there was a man who had several sheep.

1 One morning, the man discovered that one of his sheep was missing. It turned out that, during the night, a wolf had stolen his sheep through a hole in the sheep pen(羊圈).

His neighbor said to him, “you should fix up the pen and cover the hole right away to avoid further losses(损失).” But the man said, “2 那只羊已经丢了，所以我不需要修理它。” And so he didn’t listen to the neighbor.

The next morning, the man discovered that another sheep was missing. 3 The wolf stole the sheep through the hole once again. 4 那个人后悔没有听他邻居的劝告。And he covered the hole at once. From then on, no more sheep were stolen by the wolf.

       The story tells us: 5 It is never too late to take action to correct mistakes and prevent future losses.

5G will make self-driving cars possible.
