A Stitch in Time, Saves Nine - A Moral Story.




Ravi, a young man owned a little grocery store. He was also very Lazy. He would be so lazy that he can't even stretch out a hand for taking the money from the costumers! He would just sit and sleep all the time!



Years passed and it was the Rainy season. It rained heavily. On one morning, an old lady came to Ravi's store. She asked a few things to Ravi. As Ravi turned to take the things, The Lady noticed a hole on the top of the Store roof.




When the Old Lady was about to go, she addressed Ravi. "Sire, Your Shop's roof has a hole. Please make sure of it." But, Ravi just ignored her and said. 'No need of an Old Grandma's advise. Nothing can happen. Go away!" He mocked her.



The Lady was not satisfied at this disappointing answer. But, she went away.

Days passed into nights. It rained heavily and the hole in the roof grew worse. Water leaked from the roofs. Soon, the water began to overflow.



Now, Ravi was so sad! "Oh! My God! My little grocery store is completely demolished by the rain!" He cried. That Evening, the same old lady visited Ravi's shop. On seeing this, She began to laugh. "Ha! Ha! You didn't listen to my advise, right?! I said to you earlier! Now, you only suffer a lot!" 



Ravi was ashamed of himself. He apologized the old lady. From that day onwards, He started working hard on a new store! He was never lazy again.
