The King of Chu himself went into exile. Now, the king remembered Zhuang Xin's words. He sent his men to fetch him. When the king saw Zhuang Xin again, he asked him, "What can I do now?"   Zhuang Xin replied, "It's not too late if you mend the sheepfold（羊圈） when you find a sheep is missing." He then made some good suggestions to rehabilitatethe state and recover the lost land. The king was very much pleased.   The idiom "Mend the fold after a sheep is lost" has developed from Zhuang Xin's answer to the king.   We still use this metaphorto advise someone that even when he has made a mistake and suffered losses, he can still remedy it by drawing lessons from the mistake.
