Question

Story on a stitch in time saves nine

Answer 1

This proverb simply means that it requires only a few stitches to repair a small tear in a garment. But if you ignore it, the tear will become bigger requiring more stitches. This means that you have to put in more efforts to get it mended. Similarly, in life, it is better to tackle all problems at an early stage. Delay in finding a solution for a problem only complicates it further making it difficult to undo the knots.
