A guest came to someone's home and saw that the chimney on the kitchen of the host was straight and there was a lot of wood beside it. The guest told the host that the chimney should be changed and the timber should be removed, otherwise there might be fire in the future and the host didn't make any expression after hearing this.
Before long, the host's home was on fire as expected, and the neighbors around rushed to put out the fire. At last, the fire was put out. So the host picked up the sheep and killed the cattle, and entertained the neighbors to reward them for their contribution to putting out the fire, but the one who suggested him to remove the wood and change the chimney was not invited.
Someone said to the host, "If I had listened to that gentleman at the beginning, I wouldn't have prepared for the feast today, and there was no fire disaster loss. Now I will reward you for your success, but the person who gave you advice was not grateful, but the fireman was a guest, what a strange thing !" The host suddenly realized that he hurried to invite the guest who gave advice to have a drink.
[Philosophical story and inspiration]: prevention is more important than treatment, and it is better to prevent the trouble before it happens, and it is better to cure the chaos after it has been done.
