Answer:
A stitch in time saves nine
The proverb "a stitch in time saves nine" means that it is better to deal with problems as early as possible. If we don't sort out a problem immediately it may become more difficult and harder to solve it in future.
This proverb is derived from the action of promptly sewing up of a small hole in our clothes to prevent it from tearing further and becoming larger. It is better to deal with a problem immediately because if we delay the problem is likely to get worse and more difficult to deal with later. When a problem is left undone due to procrastination or delay it will become harder and harder to cope with. It may cause lost or more difficult troubles in future.
We must never put off doing something until a later time. What can be done today must not be kept pending for tomorrow. We say that “a stitch in time saves nine" to express that it is better to spend a little time and effort in dealing with a problem immediately because it may get worse and take longer time or more effort to deal with later on.
A stitch in time saves nine. If we can manage every problem in time, life will become less burdensome and easier.
