What is the meaning of this proverb A stitch in time saves nine?

If you repair an item when all that it needs is a quick stitch, you won't have to repair the whole 'seam' when it totally gives way.


Would you tell me a short story based on the proverb a stitch in time saves nine?

WikiAnswers cannot write your stories for you, but we WILL help you to figure out what to write. This proverb means that if you take care of little problems as they come up, you won't have a big problem later on. Write about a time when someone ignored little things, thinking they were just little things and not important and not worth taking time to fix, but then later on all of the little things had turned into a great big problem for the person.

What does the proverb 'a stitch in time saves nine' mean?

Literally, it means that a single stitch (to fix a tear in a garment) will avoid having to make many more (nine) to fix a larger tear that it might cause.Figuratively, a little work today (one stitch) can save a lot of work later on (the nine stitches). For example, fixing a tile on the roof can stop the wind and water from getting in and causing a lot of damage to ceilings and so on. Or putting a little oil in the car engine can avoid a ruined engine, a ruined trip and an expensive repair.Think of a small rip in a stitched seam. If one were to restitch the hole in the seam while it is small, it won't take nearly as much effort as when the hole has time to work itself into a larger hole.It is often best to fix problems soon after they are discovered, so that they don't grow into larger problems that will require a lot more effort to fix.Fix in now, it will only get worse later and then be more difficult to repair
