中國成語故事：亡羊補牢

很久以前，一個牧民養(yǎng)了幾十只羊，白天放牧，晚上跳進了被柴火和木樁等包圍的羊圈里。

一天早上，這個牧民去放羊，發(fā)現(xiàn)羊少了一只。原來羊圈有個洞，晚上狼從洞里鉆了進來，叼走了一只羊。

鄰居這樣勸告他。"快把羊圈修好，堵住那個洞。"他說：“羊已經(jīng)丟了，還要去羊圈干什么？”他不接受鄰居的親切勸告。

第二天早上，他去放羊，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)又少了一只羊。原來狼又從洞里進入羊圈，又叼走了一只羊。

這位牧民非常后悔沒有接受鄰居的勸告，及時采取了糾正措施。所以他趕緊堵住那個洞，又整體加固，把羊圈修好了。

從那以后，這只牧民的羊再也沒有被狼叼走過。

這個成語說，犯了錯誤，受到挫折是常見的現(xiàn)象。只要能認真吸取教訓，及時采取糾正措施，就能避免繼續(xù)犯錯，遭受更大的損失。
