Ⅳ. One possible version:
A long time ago, there was a young man. He kept some sheep. One morning, the man found that one of his sheep was missing. There was a hole in the fold, so the wolf could come in and take away the sheep. The man’s neighbor advised him to fill the hole. But he thought there was no need to do so since the sheep was already lost. However, that night, the wolf came again and took another sheep. The next morning, the man found that another sheep was missing. He was very sad but thought it was not too late to fix the fold. So he quickly went to repair it. From that day on, he never lost another sheep.
The story tells us it’s never too late to make a change. Everyone makes mistakes, but we will get better as long as we learn from our mistakes.
