John had a small garden in his backyard where he grew different vegetables and fruits. One day, he noticed some weeds growing around his tomato plants. He ignored them, thinking they were just small and wouldn't cause any harm. Few days passed. The weeds grew bigger and started to spread to other plants, damaging them. John realized his mistake and started to pull out the weeds, but it was too late. Some of his plants had already withered and he had to discard them. John learned an important lesson that day, that a stitch in time saves nine. He understood that ignoring small problems could lead to bigger ones, causing significant damage. From that day on, he regularly checked his garden and immediately addressed any issues he found, whether big or small. As a result of his work, John's garden thrived. He had a lot of vegetables to harvest. He learned it's important to fix problems early.
